I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
Here in Ohio, we don’t just celebrate fall. We Celebrate Fall. We go big. Huge. Like, 1,800-pound pumpkin huge. Each fall, the Circleville Pumpkin Show puts on the greatest fall festival in the country, inviting fall fans from far and wide to ogle massive pumpkins, enjoy award-winning pumpkin pie, and engage in the most epic fall shenanigans imaginable. This is *the* fall festival to end all fall festivals, and it happens right here, in the heart of Ohio. Save the dates for October 19 – 22, 2022!
You know those so-called "pumpkin" festivals? Circleville Pumpkin Show puts them to shame.
Each year, the streets of this little locale are transformed into the ultimate pumpkin playground, complete with 1,800-pound gourds, city-wide parades, epic contests, and pumpkin-spiced everything.
Yes, this fall festival has an assortment of pumpkin pies and pumpkin spiced donuts, but those are expected. What about pumpkin burgers, pumpkin sloppy joes, pumpkin pizzas, and pumpkin chili? Now we're talking.
Everything about the Circleville Pumpkin show celebrates autumn's most winsome fall icon. Texas might be known for "going big," but there's no bigger nor better fall festival than the Circleville Pumpkin Show in Ohio.
Have you experienced this larger-than-life Ohio fall festival in years past? The only downside we see is that, once you’ve been to the Circleville Pumpkin Show, you’ll be spoiled for life!
