The Great Nauvoo Pumpkin Walk


Every year in Nauvoo we have a Pumpkin Walk. Hundreds of pumpkins are carved and put on display up and down the sidewalks and there are different concessions, musical entertainment, photo opps, costumes, etc. There's also a pretty cool haunted house that the line is forever long to get into. It's a ton of fun and through the years has grown quite huge! It's not just the locals anymore...it's everyone!!! As I tried to display in this blurry pic I took of part of the street.




This is Tristan (a.k.a. Obi Wan Kenobi) sitting with two of the carved pumpkins in front of the school.
For some reason my camera starts to go all kinda blurry when the battery gets low.
This is a sample of just how cool the pumpkins are. Anybody can help carve too! they do it down at NRI for a few nights beforehand.
How cool is that????

Wow---what a fun thing for Nauvoo to do! I think Illinois has such beautiful Autumns. Hey, what did you think of the "Pumpkin Bar Recipe?" :-)
