This weekend, we headed down to Circleville for the annual Pumpkin Show. It is truly a sight to see! Home to the world's largest pumpkin pie (14 feet in diameter, 400 lbs of four, 800 lbs of pumpkin, 60 dozen eggs...are you kidding me???), famous pumpkin doughnuts, the biggest pumpkins you've ever seen, it is Ohio's oldest and largest festival. It attracts over 100,000 visitors per day to this small town of 12,000. Isn't that crazy???
Here's the king and queen of the giant pumpkins...and yes, the king weighed in at a hefty 1, 375.5 lbs. That's a monstrous pumpkin!
Shawn, Shea, Deetra & Will, Noah, Kendall and Barry in front of the the pumpkin display. It was a beautiful day!!
I couldn't resist this sign...pshychic consultant, original pumpkin BBQ chicken, AND ceramics...all in one spot! Isn't that hilarious????This festival has more food than you can possibly imagine. I mean SERIOUSLY. You could spend the entire week there and eat all day and still not try everything. I had my favorite deep-fried pickles and a couple bites of Barry's bourbon chicken. The kids had corn dogs and shared a giant cream puff...YUM! I don't know why, but I just wasn't all that hungry...how disappointing, as the show only happens once per year. I really wanted to try the pumpkin doughnuts, but there was over an hour wait!!!! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait until next year!!!
