Lake Geneva Woman Carves Pumpkins for a Living

You might think you're good at carving pumpkins... but are you a professional? Dori is and she's been doing this for almost three decades.

Being an adult means you have to have a job. Well, almost always it means you have to have a job. You have to find a way to make money, pay the bills, buy groceries, you get the picture.

But what if you could do something really unique, something you love and still make money?

Ok, I'm a horrible pumpkin carver, so that wouldn't exactly be my dream job, but it's definitely Dori's.

Dori has been carving (and scoring) pumpkins for 28 years and literally gets to do what she loves every year, especially around Halloween.

Not only are her pumpkin designs beautiful, but they last a lot longer than yours do... mostly because she puts Neosporin and mouth wash on them. For real!

Dori has visited Good Day Stateline for the past six years giving her tips and tricks including earlier this week as we celebrated Halloween all week long.

She lives in Lake Genva, so if you need a special pumpkin made, you know who to call!
