Jackson - Jackson Rancheria Executive Chef Ed Wickman will carve a 700 pound pumpkin for Halloween on Friday, October 30. The carving will take place at 10 a.m. just outside the Casino Lobby door. The pumpkin was grown by Richard Larson of Granite Bay and given to Jackson Rancheria. "It was so pretty I thought it should be displayed somewhere," said Larson. And Wickman, an experienced giant pumpkin carver, was glad to take it on. The pumpkin is part of the decorations for the Casino's $275,000 Mad Money promotion and Halloween festivities. Jackson Rancheria Casino & Hotel is located at 12222 New York Ranch Road, Jackson, CA 95642. For more information, call 800-822-WINN or visit JacksonCasino.com.
