Volunteers Put On Quite A Show!
All the credit for “The Greatest Free Show on Earth” can be given to a
multitude of hard working volunteers. The trustees and chairpersons for
Pumpkin Show, Inc., which sponsors the festival, work almost year-round in
planning, scheduling and promoting the Circleville Pumpkin Show.
The Sunday preceding the festival you can find volunteers readying the streets
of downtown. Vendor spaces need to be marked off, displays erected, booths
moved in and platforms raised in anticipation of crowds of festival goers!
Everyone is busy during the four days of Pumpkin Show. There are parades
to orchestrate, contests to judge, pumpkins to weigh and pies to be served.
Volunteers for all the area school, church and civic organizations sell all kinds of
pumpkin products. On the Sunday following Pumpkin Show, all the trappings are
stored away, the streets are cleaned up and the downtown again regains some
semblance of normalcy.
General questions regarding The Pumpkin Show can be directed to 740-4747000 or see our website at www.pumpkinshow.com. The following is a partial
