Keene Pumpkin Festival!

Before we even moved to New Hampshire we knew about the Keene, NH pumpkin festival. The town of Keene is an hour and 45 minutes away from us, but it was totally worth the drive. The town is so charming, and the festival is HUGE! Mike and I are waiting for the website to come up with the official count of pumpkins, but there were so many, I don't envy the guy who's job it is to count them all.
These were some of our favorite pumpkins, you could literally spend hours seeing all the different ones. There are some pretty creative people out there.



Somehow we ended up forgetting Elliot's stocking hat, so we bought her one of the pumpkin ones, so cute. We enjoyed just walking around looking at all the pumpkins and eating. We ate pumpkin spice donuts, fried pickles, pizza, hot dogs, and chili cheese nachos.



The pumpkins were most impressive at night. We ended up skipping out early but fireworks were scheduled for 8:30. We all had a great time. We hope to go again next year.
