Circleville Pumpkin Show

We went this weekend- twice, in fact.

The first day was an outing with one of my mom's groups. It was fun, but entirely too crowded. We went in the afternoon & could barely find each other. It took about 30 minutes just to park!!

This morning was a different story. We went with my in-laws & nephew- we got there before everything opended, so we were thankfully able to find free parking. And we were able to step right up to the prize-winning pumpkin for a photo shoot, too, and walk right in to the bakery famous for selling pumpkin doughnuts (yesterday, there was over an hour wait!)

I ate pumpkin hot chocolate, pumpkin pizza, pumpkin doughnuts and pumpkin chili. The chili was my favorite. Yum!!

We watched a parade. This float was spooky- it was supposed to be the Scooby Doo Gang float I guess.

Corbin snacked on some puffs while he watched the parade.

We ran into the Pumpkin Man!
