The 52nd Annual 24th Place, Hermosa Beach Pumpkin Carving Contest

Andy Clifton (left) looks on in dismay upon learning his new tenant, Renee, had won the 52nd Annual 24th Place Hermosa Beach Pumpkin Carving Contest. Each year’s winner is required to host next year’s contest. Amy and KC Irwin hosted this year’s contest, but staged the often messy affair in the driveway of their unwitting neighbors, David and Koon Goldenberg.
