| 2006 PUMPKIN SHOW QUEEN'S FAREWELL |
My reign as the 2006 Circleville
Pumpkin Show Queen can be expressed
in one simple word, amazing! This past
year, I had a once in a lifetime opportunity
to represent my home town of Circleville,
and travel around Ohio promoting
The Greatest Free Show On
Earth.” Through this incredible experience
I met so many great people, and
had a fabulous time
inviting those attending
other Ohio festivals to
come and join the fun at
the Pumpkin Show.
I’d like to first thank the Pumpkin Show Committee and the Sunrise Rotary for making this experience possible through the hard work they put into making the Pumpkin Show the largest and most successful festival in Ohio. I’d also like to thank the businesses that donated their wonderful gifts to my attendants and me. To first attendant Christyn Barrows and second attendant Dakota Vansickle, you two made this year such a blast. I had so much fun with you girls and I’m so happy to have the two of you as life long friends. I’m going to miss playing spoons and riding rides at all the festivals with you two! And to Linda Ballou, our chaperone, thank you so much for all that you did for the three of us. Your dedication to us and the Pumpkin Show says a lot about the great person you are. You put in so much of your time to travel with us, and allow us to promote and represent the Pumpkin Show. You truly do bleed orange. I’d like to give a special thank you to my family and friends. Your love and support is something that will never be forgotten. To Circleville High School and my class of 2008, thank you for not only giving me the chance to represent you, but also making the night I was crowned an unforgettable night. Your support and your faith in me were much appreciated. Lastly, this year and this opportunity was truly a blessing, which is why I’d like to thank God for the miracles and blessings he gives all of us everyday. I have lived in Circleville my entire life and the Pumpkin Show has always been the highlight of my years. To be the Queen of the 100th Pumpkin Show has been the highlight of my life so far, and a dream come true for me. I am so honored to have been able to represent 100 years of family fun and tradition that the Pumpkin Show offers. Like I said before, this year was absolutely amazing and I cherish every memory that was made! My congratulations goes out to the 2007 Pumpkin Show Queen and her court. You will have a spectacular year in representing 101 years of what is truly the “Greatest Free Show On Earth!” - Kristen Walters
