You can find the Great Pumpkin at Aspinwall resident Joel Keefer's 4th Street home. It weighs 1,675 pounds, is 6 feet wide and 5 feet tall.

Carved in the image of Yoda from the Star Wars movie series, it is lit with an 800-watt light. Keefer uses the attraction to collect donations for Project Bundle-Up, which provides coats and warm clothes to needy children and senior citizens.

Visitors are encouraged to donate. The effort since 2011 has brought in more than $27,000.
