Halloween is here again and in New England, this means pumpkin displays...   Some of which are down right impressive!

The Courser Farm Pumpkin Carving Festival & Display in Warner, NH is one of the highly anticipated local annual events in this area of New Hampshire.   Georg and I didn't catch this event last year, but this year we made it a point to attend.   And, wow, what a sight!

Now, the Coursers aren't threatening to give Keene's Pumpkin Festival any serious competition just yet.   They'll leave that fight to the city folk of Boston, Massachusetts.   (Boston beat Keene NH's world record just last week, a record which had stood since 2003.)   But the Courser Pumpkin Festival & Display is undoubtably tops in the eyes of the multitude of pumpkin carvers who make their way to the Courser Farm every year and the several hundred visitors who walk and drive by the roadside field decorated with hundreds of lit pumpkins.

Curious, I asked one of the Coursers what becomes of all of this fabulous handiwork after the Halloween festivities pass?   The answer was simple.   The Courser's bulls get turned out into the field to feast on freshly carved pumpkin!

Happy Halloween!
