Today was the Fair in Riverhead, long island, NY. There was so much to see that I will have to put it into a few posts. I will start with all the pumpkins. They had a display of very creative pumpkins done by children of all age groups. There was also a pumpkin that weighed over 400 pounds. I hope you enjoy them.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d611/d233/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

Some of those kids were really creative with their pumpkins! Thanks for the photo essay, Carol. I enjoyed it! I always enjoy your photo essays.
Donna Tinus Oct 16, 2008, 1:43pm UTC
We have so many houses that have lights on their house for Halloween. Does your neighborhood have Halloween lights? I'm going to take pics and do a photo essay too. I don't take enough pics. People like to comment on pics, b/c it's quicker than reading posts all the time, yet I never take new pics. Guess I should get out more.
Amy C. Oct 31, 2008, 1:47pm UTC
What a fun photo essay! I love the decorated pumpkins they had such originality!
Thanks for sharing!
