Yesterday we went to Circleville, a little town about 45 minutes south that hosts an annual pumpkin festival (it was their 101st). There were several blocks of vendors, carnival rides, entertainment, and everything you can think of to eat made of pumpkin. We tried pumpkin donuts, fried pumpkin seeds, pumpkin waffles, and pumpkin ice cream. They also boast the world's largest pumpkin pie (although it wasn't as big as I was expecting, but it was made with 44 pounds of sugar). As you can see from the picture below, it is a pretty popular event here.

I'm glad you guys got to go enjoy the fun. The crowds were massive weren't they? The thing I was surprised at was how heavy the state's largest pumpkin was. 1500 lbs!
You guys find the coolest things to do. It must be fun to have a whole new area to explore.
Wow, what a busy place. What was the best pumpkin thing you tasted?
Love the gourds. Keep up the great posting.
I hope you don't mind, but I borrowed your top pumpkin picture since all mine from the festival are on H's computer and she won't be back for a week...
