Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

Hi Folks:

Last weekend I took photos of the annual Harvest Days Festival we have every September, and I thought with all this talk of Halloween and pumpkins, that I would post a few pictures.

The bad news was that by the time I fnihsed my photo shoot and was ready to buy a couple of them, everything was sold out. Even the gourds and jack-be-littles were gone. Next year I'll buy my pumpkins first, then do the photo shoot.

Nice pix Mike!

and I agree with Witchy, 5 bucks for a large pumpkin would be a steal around here.

Great pix!

I hope to go this weekend. I am not sure about prices around here. I am thinking that $5 was what I paid last year for average size.

We'll see.

Thanks for sharing!

That's a beautiful assortment of squash pumpkinman! Awesome!

Sweet!!

Large pumpkins for only $5! I had to pay $10 the past couple of years.

Your photos are gorgeous, Mike! They are certainly enough to put one in the mood of the season, if a person wasn't already there!

I think the pumpkins are slightly less expensive here this year than last. Mainly the $5 or $6 range, some cheaper. I haven't bought any yet because the hot weather just makes them rot (husband told me we hit 100 degrees yesterday afternoon in Murfreesboro). However, I have seen some beauties.

I usually look for a perfectly symmetrical pumpkin, but last year I waited so late to buy that all that was left were the oddly shaped ones. I learned then that the odd shapes can carve spectacularly well. I had one that was leaning back and laughing. It turned out great. So from now on out, I intend to look for one or two that seem a little strange.

Cool pics, Mike! Thanks for posting!

Mike, have you ever been there to the pumpkin patch at the farm? Somewhere else?

Pumpkins are probably going to be cheaper this year because it was a great harvest year. Last year was a very bad year and apparently there was a bit of a shortage. They said there was a canned pumpkin shortage, but I never noticed it.
