Trying to put the finishing touches on manning a booth during our local "Pumpkin Festival" coming up in less than 3 weeks. Morton is called the "Pumpkin Capitol of the World" with about 70% of the domestic product canned here and about 80% of the world's canned pumpkins. Festival includes Pumpkin Pancakes and Ice Cream along with other great Pumpkin recipes. Carnival rides and one of the larger central Illinois parades.
