The Keene Pumpkin Festival in Keene, New Hampshire is the kind of event you have to see to believe. Last year the total pumpkin count was 25,644. This year even more are expected on October 17th when folks from all around bring their customized pumpkins to Keene for the 17th annual pumpkin festival.
The jack-o-lanterns line the streets of downtown Keene, set up on huge scaffolds. At night they are even illuminated, creating a spectacular glow of pumpkin colored light into the night. This event, like any good fall festival, is complete with craft and art vendors, live music and entertainment, fireworks and of course lots of 
great food (last year Tim unsuccessfully tried to eat his weight in cider donuts).
So carve your pumpkin and take it to the Keene Pumpkin Festival! Help them reach their world record goal this year of 29,000 pumpkins – topping their old world record which was just short of that.
