Each October, for the last 106 years, Circleville hosts the Greatest Show on Earth. |
Cousins Jennifer and Megan came to celebrate Pumpkin Show with us on Thursday night. |
The biggest pumpkins had their weight written on them. First place winner this year weighed in at 1,350 pounds. |
Along with pumpkins, there are lots of weird and crazy gourds. |
And then there is the tower of pumpkins at the center of town. |
I will take photos of pumpkins in the day or night. |
I had no idea there were so many kinds of pumpkins. |
I think the reason I love pumpkins so much is because there are so many different kinds. |
In life, variation is everything. |
Using a metal mold, a farmer created these very cool head-shaped pumpkins. |
Deep fried Oreos are a m a z i n g |
We had to try deep fried Twinkies and pumpkin funnel cake. It was the right thing to do. |
Cousin Chris came today to celebrate Pumpkin Show. |
Circleville's Pumpkin Show is truly the greatest show on Earth. Where else can you ride a ferris wheel then a carousel, and then eat elephant ears, all in front of the town's courthouse? |
These enormous pumpkins were carved up all pretty. |
We went back to our place and decided to carve up our own pumpkins. |
Ta da! |
That pumpkin festival looks like so much fun! I'm glad you added extra pictures here on your blog (I saw a few on FB, I think). You have to tell me which of the deep fried foods were best. They all sound a little crazy, but delicious.
