A senior at Texas Tech, Eric said his studio art major has helped him in carving the extremely detailed designs that can take up to two hours to complete.
Although he has spent many summer nights carving, he said he enjoys helping out with his family's farm.
The hayride to Pumpkin Hallow is open Friday-Sunday starting at dark.
