Coroner vs. celebrity chef: who has better knife skills?

(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI) of Colorado Springs is having a Mental Health and Wellness Fest on Saturday, Oct. 7.

One of the most anticipated events is the Pumpkin Carving Throwdown between El Paso County Coroner, Dr. Leon Kelly, and celebrity chef Brother Luck. NAMI says you can place bets on who you think will have the best carving skills by donating to Team Leon or Team Brother on NAMI’s website.
