If she could invite anyone to the Pumpkin Show, she wouldn't just invite anyone, she would invite everyone to the Pumpkin Show. Everyone should have the chance to experience the down to earth tradition of the Circleville Pumpkin Show.

Samantha and her family have a tradition to attend the Pumpkin Show every year on Friday to watch the pet parade. One pet parade stays fresh in her mind. There was a Dalmatian that was painted orange, just like a pumpkin. She thought it was the cutest and she loved it, since she has a Dalmatian of her own.
