Cold Cut Canadian Ice Carving Championship Winner Yann Blanchard is back at CFM!
But this time, he’s here to carve the pumpkins. Many of you will remember talented Yann’s seascape ice sculpture with its glistening stingray from our February Cold Cut competition.
If he can do this with a block of ice, what do you think he can do with a giant pumpkin?! 
Plus, activities for the kids and Calgary’s best Thanksgiving shopping!
