2012 Fall Festival Fun
Mickey Pullen
Keene Pumpkin Festival
Oct. 20
Downtown Keene, N.H., will host this festival dedicated to the pumpkin. It will include the Great Pumpkin Mile Race, as well as a “pumpkin promenade” in which artitically carved pumpkins will be on display in downtown windows and storefronts. Oh, and you can’t miss the pumpkin tower, featuring hundreds of lit jack-o’-lanterns – this year, there’s even a world record at stake, and Keene will be featured along with Illinois’ Great Highwood Pumpkin Festival on a HGTV special entitled “Pumpkin Wars.” Free admission, downtown Keene, N.H., www.pumpkinfest.org
