    I think I'll drive over to Kenova each day this week and take a picture of the Pumpkin House as a work in progress. I'll post them every afternoon til Friday.

    Might be interesting to see what they get done each day!

    TUESDAY

     

    There's not a whole lot of progress being made and it's supposed to rain this evening and tomorrow. Every year it's always the big question - Are they going to be done by Halloween?

    It rained yesterday evening and most of this morning, so I guess they didn't get a lot more done. They only have two and a half more days!

    Here's a few bonus pics.

    Tonight and tomorrow night local TV personalities will be reading "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" at 7, 9, and 11 o'clock. With a real, live headless horseman running loose on the grounds terrifying the villagers!

    3000 pumpkins carved, lighted, and arranged on display in a weeks time.

    Good job, guys!
