Pumpkin Festival
In France, the pumpkin festival draws people from far and wide to search the produce markets in search of The Mother of all Pumpkins. Once the great squash has been decided upon, it is decorated and placed upon a throne, where it is allowed to remain for a respectable period of time. At the conclusion of the festivities, the pumpkin is made into bread and soup and shared among those in attendance.
