Circleville Pumpkin Show
Circleville, OH

The pumpkin fest is so important here that students are given days off of school to participate. There is nothing small-town about this annual event that features two pageants, seven parades, karaoke, farm demonstrations, pet training expositions, and nearly nonstop music.

For the Kids: The Giant Pumpkin Weigh-In is a perennial favorite, as are the Big Wheel Race and a messy egg toss. Catch one of the many magic acts or perform as a family in the Stand Up ’n Sing competition. Save room for Saturday’s Pumpkin Pie-eating contest.

For the Parents: Enjoy acts that feature funk, bluegrass, country rock, gospel, and jazz music. Then check out the stained glass demonstration in the craft tents or one of the daily Fashion Extravaganzas in the pavilion.

Details: October 17–20, 2008; www.pumpkinshow.com
