The Greatest Free Show on Earth!

This past Friday, Karl, Jacqui, Ryan, Marcia, Chip, and I made the annual pilgrimage (yes, I think we can call it that) to Circleville, Ohio... home of “The Greatest Free Show on Earth,” the Circleville Pumpkin Show!


Of course, pumpkins are the main attraction there. Pictured above are the top three winners in the (you guessed it) pumpkin contest. On the left is this year’s winner at 1324 pounds!


Also adding largesse to the proceedings is the giant pie. At 14 feet in diameter, it probably re-took their record for World’s Largest Pumpkin Pie.


This year is the 100th anniversary of the show. A lot changes over the years, huh? This year they added webcams to their website.


There’s Miss Pumpkin 2006!


And the Mayor of Circleville!


Look at the line for pumpkin donuts at Lyndsey’s Bakery! Chip and Marcia waited 45 minutes for 2 dozen warm ones!
