Every year they come up with a different theme; last year, it was The Sea, and they did whole "islands" with "palm trees" made of pumpkins, dolphins, turtles, whales, and so on.<br /><br />Scriptor, they have tourists coming to this festival by the busloads, from other regions of Germany as well as neighbouring countries. I wouldn't go there on a Sunday, Saturday was just about bearable for the amount of people.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-7677413374584655172011-10-08T19:01:23.219+02:002011-10-08T19:01:23.219+02:00If some local organic farms around here were to se...If some local organic farms around here were to see this post I can imagine them adopting the idea of a pumpkin festival. Looks like someting a lot of people could get involved in throughout the year - growing their pumpkins and organising their displays. A great idea.Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-70532685949182777562011-10-08T15:41:15.892+02:002011-10-08T15:41:15.892+02:00Those pumpkin sculptures are amazing!

I can't conceive of a larger gathering of those particular fruits anywhere despite the US being the largest cultivator.
