Pumpkin Daze


"It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!"
The winning pumpkin weighed 1092 lbs. and took up the entire bed of this full size Ford truck.

Our community in the Ozarks has a ton of things to do each weekend. There are a lot of events going on...some free...some not free...making it fairly easy to decide which events we might be able to attend. ;-) Our city had their annual Pumpkin Daze today so we decided to check it out this morning before conference started. I thought there might be more festivities, but there are less than 9,000 people in our city, so what can we expect. There was some fun things for kids and the live music was pretty awesome. It was crowded but we made our way up and down Main Street to check it all out.

  2. Neither of my boys like to have their picture taken...they had fun though...just not in front of the camera. :-)
