If she could invite anyone to Pumpkin Show, she said it would be the creator of the festival. "I would like to invite the creator of Pumpkin Show, Mayor George Haswell, to the 94th annual event to experience what an amazing festival it has become. He would certainly be proud to see the spirit of his idea has endured for more than 90 years."

She recalled her most memorable Pumpkin Show experience. "My most enjoyable and exciting Pumpkin Show expereince occurred last year while supporting one of my closest friends, Courtney Vickers, as she represented the junior class of Circleville High School in the 93rd annual Miss Pumpkin Show pageant. My friends and I stood directly in front of the stage wearing personalized orange T-shirts and crowns, while cheering for Courtney. We were thrilled when she was crowned Miss Pumpkin Show 1999.
