The Circleville Pumpkin Show, Ohio's oldest and largest festival, started in 1903. The annual 4-day show attracts over 400,000 visitors to a small community of 12,000 people. The show opens with the offical weigh-in of the largest pumpkins from the area. The 2017 champion came in at 1,701 lbs.

Thanks Karin! I drove two states over to make the final day of this year's Show as well as making a 2-week midwest tour of the trip back to Chi town.

Thanks Tikva! And if you can believe it, this year was about 200 pounds lighter than an all-time champion from a few years ago.

Thank you Ralph! I was there only on the final day with so so light, but still a great time. Maybe sometime I'll make one of the evenings and the parades that go on all four days.

Stock up on 'orange' ink if you plan to print these. :)

Looks like an interesting show.
