This was the busiest weekend we had in over a year. We had two days, and we used every single hour of them.
We arrived in Keene on Saturday for the Keene Pumpkin Festival. We were awed by the size of this event. http://pumpkinfestival2011.org/Visitors.html
There were a several thousand people packed in one street of a small town. Although, it was crowded, kids had great time playing and posing with different shapes of pumpkins, prepared by the locals. There were 15000 pumpkins in the street, each one representing a different character of its decorator.
There were all kinds of food stalls with candies, meat, corn, and you name it. We ate till we could not move anymore.
The church in central Keene was converted into a haunted house with guided tours of dungeons full of daemons.
Then at five in the evening, all visitors were asked to help in lighting the pumpkins. Our kids lighted a hundred pumpkins before I stopped counting.
This is a video of one of the dances:
These are the pictures from the trip:
