punkin chunkin

I ran out to the Olathe this morning for the 14th Annual Punkin Chunkin Festival. The event was a fundraiser for the Olathe Volentree Fire Department. A large crowd was on hand to take in the sceptical.

This is a tough time of year to be a pumpkin. Some people want to turn you into a latte spice. Others will make you into a pie. Then, there's the kids with knives who carve smiley faces in you. In Olathe, pumpkins are also in danger as they celebrate their annual Punkin Chunckin on October 24.
