Our New England Life ~ 2nd issue
Pumpkin-fest festivities start tonight with community night. The locals actually can come and enjoy the pumpkins, the vendors and tasty tidbit without the hordes of out-of-staters massing around Main Street and the side streets.
For years, Keene had the Guinness book record for the most lit jack-O-lanterns in one place...something like 28,900+/-. Now some bigger city has it...not quite fair for a city of 25,000 to compete with a city of 500,000, but oh- well.
We will probably carve a Jack-o-lantern or two and bring them down tonight. We'll eat some naughty food...sausage and peppers, fried dough, hot chocolate, maybe canoli, it's up in the air still. Despues de check out the sights, watch the people, and then steer clear tomorrow
None of us (the family) do well in huge crowds. We get kind of shell shocked, almost like being too stoned to walk or something and nobody enjoys themselves. Who know's, we still might stop down....lots of fun to see, smell ,taste and listen too. Live music, people in costumes, tasty treats, goodies to buy...it's a big PARTY.
