Ellie's 32nd Annual Great Green Mountain Pumpkin Show

Even though Garth wasn’t quite recovered from his ear problems, we decided to go to see an event we’d heard about. The owner of a small produce stand in Northfield Falls, VT has decorated the hillside near her stand with carved pumpkins for 32 years. We went on Friday night but there were a ton of people everywhere and it was pouring down rain so we didn’t want to brave the downpour. On Halloween night, we went early enough to appreciate the pumpkins in the daylight and stayed until it was dark. We just couldn’t get over the over 1,000 pumpkins which were carved and placed all over the hillside. We didn’t get a good picture of the hillside in the dark, but it was interesting.





















This was just a fun event to attend. We were astounded at the beautiful carving and funny sayings on the pumpkins. Every single pumpkin had a candle in it and was lighted by hand. This is Vermont.
