It will be fine for a couple of weeks if you do not carve it if you do carve it put vasaline around the edges you carved out and at night bring it inside and put it in the fridge

go to the supermarket and down the cooking aisle where the spices are there is s product called "fruit fresh", it comes in a sprinkle can. just sprinkle it inside the pumpkin after you are all done carving it and it will stay fresh longer. Good luck.

Don't cut it yet. Wait until just a few days before Halloween.

I've heard rubbing cooking oil on the inside before you carve does the trick.

Spray the cut edges with unflavored gelatin. Mix according to directions, place in a spray bottle and spray on all cut surfaces.
