A vast majority of the world's canned pumpkin is processed in Morton, Illinois at the Libby's plant, earning the town the title of "Pumpkin Capital of the World".
The first Pumpkin Festival was held in 1967 to celebrate the beginning of the pumpkin harvest and canning season.
The party is held in September, so almost time! And guess what? I think Cinderella is planning to attend. I found her coach!
Interesting information. Such a great pumpkin buggy too
ReplyDelete...pumpkin time will soon be here.
ReplyDeleteThe coach is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a better place for Cinderella’s coach to appear than at the Pumpkin Capital’s own festival
ReplyDeleteThat is a hoot!
ReplyDeleteI never knew that! So interesting. They had some pumpkins out at our pediatric dentist office today & I was thinking it was way too early for that. I guess it is about September though!
ReplyDeleteWell, I didn't know that! Pumpkin time, or Fall, is my favorite time of the year!
ReplyDeleteWell, I have to say I have never encountered canned pumpkin! We generally roast ours from fresh.
