If she could invite anyone to Pumpkin Show, she said the following. "Although most anyone would enjoy an invitation to the Pumpkin Show, I would most likely invite someone who grew up in the area and hadn't been to the Pumpkin Show since they were younger. After being away from it they would enjoy seeing the changes and also people that theyknew when they used to live here. I think that part of the charm of the PUmpkin Show comes from the familiarity of it, and this can be enjoyed the most from people in our community."
She recalled her most enjoyable Pumpkin Show. "I can vividly remember my high school years with my friends at the PUmpkin Show and we always have a lot of fun. However, the event I can remember enjoying the most happened when I was six years old. I was in the Little Miss Pumpkin Show contest. I had lost my two front teeth three days prior but this didn't phase me because I got to ride on the very first car in the parade. It also didn't phase me that I wasn't called back for more questioning because my mom bought me cotton candy when I was done."
