Things We Saw at the Pumpkin Show

  • A pumpkin weighing over 1600 lbs.
  • A replica of the world's largest pumpkin pie.
  • More food vendor stands than things to see and do (aside from people-watching).
  • Some friends from our ward.
  • A fat guy saying, "I want sum' funnel cake."
  • Some scary looking carnies (and some normal looking ones, too)
  • Girls dancing to Irish music.  Either they had all slept with tight curlers the night before, or their teacher went wig-happy.
  • A castle house.
  • A handful of spaces in mouths where teeth should have been, but weren't.
  • Pumpkin chili and pumpkin sloppy joes burgers.  And pumpkin waffles, and pumpkin bread, cookies, cake, pie, etc.
  • Delicious mini pumpkin donuts, only $3.50 a bag (heaven, especially when fresh from the oil)
  • A nice lady running the mini donut stand, who recognized me when I came back an hour later for another back.  Yes, they are just that good.
  • A 3-mile long line of traffic waiting to get off the freeway to attend the Pumpkin Show--fortunately we noticed these as we were headed the opposite direction on our way home.
