Circleville Council on Preview Night of Pumpkin Show

Tuesday evening, Circleville Council had little to do, with a light agenda...but get out into the Pumpkin Show during "preview night" for residents.

While the mayor of Circleville is the "President" of the festival, that is mainly ceremonial.

Councilman Barry Keller is the "Vice President," meaning he is the real coordinator. He explained all the work it takes to put it on - guiding more than 250 volunteers, and several city departments.

He says Pumpkin Show Park has been completed, and is the central site for free music and other events.

Keller urges everyone to try something pumpkin-flavored to support local nonprofits...to visit the seven parades...and to buy souvenirs like "Looking for Pumpkin Man," a book by the city's elementary school children.

400,000 to 500,000 people may attend the four-day festival. Then, there's a major cleanup Sunday...and it's like it never happened.
