Pirates and Giant Pumpkins

Once again, the Giant Pumpkins have come and gone. This is my 5th festival working with the Parks and Rec Department and I have to say it was one of my favorites!! The theme was "Shiver Me Pumpkins" and people really went all out with the theme. On Saturday I got to work in the Produce area again and see all of the pumpkins weighed and all of the huge produce. This year's winning pumpkin weighed 1684.5 and the gentleman that won went on to win again a week later at the Half Moon Bay weigh-off with his 1,704 pound pumpkin. Crazy!! And just to give you an idea our festival pays $6 per pound for the winning pumpkin. Then Sunday I worked the Entertainment area, and got to see some pretty cool stuff...like fire dancers.

The Regatta, pumpkins turned into boats.

So happy to be done entering in all of the information!
