Today we took the girls to the Pumpkin Festival in Collector. It was a beautiful Autumn day for it too.
There were pumpkins to buy, food, market stalls, fresh flowers, apples, potatoes among many other stalls to browse at or buy food from. We got some chutney's and jam's. I love buying chutney and jam from the markets. It always tastes better than the store bought ones. We did however not find the pumpkin bread. That is probably because it is hard to push a double pram around such busy places. Lucky there is always next year!
I did think there would be more 'huge' pumpkins on display like the one in the photo. This pumpkin is said to weigh 400kg. Apparently all they did was put manure on it to get it so big! They did have a pumpkin rolling competition as well.
There were so many people, I certainly didn't expect it to be so busy. I'll be interested to know how many people walked through the gates. I think we'll be keeping this date open again next year.
