Operation Pumpkin
Last weekend was Operation Pumpkin in downtown, downtown Hamilton.
Three blocks were cordoned off.
The first block had carnival rides.
The middle block had craft booths.
In the intersection between the craft booths and the food booths were the
carved PUMPKINS!
Love the honey bees!
How do they do that?
This is the largest pumpkin.... imagine, it weighs almost a ton!
How is it put on the skid?
Does it grow there?
Runner-up large pumpkins.
Pumpkins on the court house steps that sponsors had 'purchased.'
There were small pumpkins that elementary children had painted.
Saturday's rain had washed off a good part of the paint.
Not pretty.
____________________________
Older students had carved pumpkins.
These pumpkins were in shop windows with white lights in them.
Hyde's Restaurant has a food truck?!?
Hamilton, after all, is the city of sculpture.
Sunday's crowd more than made up for the lack of folks on Saturday.
It was a beautiful day!
