Did you ever think you’d see a giant octopus carved into a pumpkin? It’s just one of the many unique giant pumpkins that you can see at the 112th Circleville Pumpkin Show.

They have pumpkin everything: pies, pizzas, chili and you can’t forget about the famous pumpkin doughnuts!

“Everybody, they wait in line for an hour just to get a doughnut,” said Jerry Eckart with Lindsey’s Bakery.

Eckart says the bakery has been around for decades and makes different kinds of doughnuts throughout the year, but during the pumpkin show, people from across the country stop by to stock up on the pumpkin doughnuts.

“We’ve been coming here about 33 years,” Pumpkin Show visitor Paul Brath said. “We take five dozen doughnuts home every year.”

And what would this show be without the giant pumpkins? This year’s winner weighed in at a whopping 1,607 pounds! Mark Litz, the grower behind the behemoth pumpkin, said he started growing it back in May.

“You keep it inside for a couple of weeks, then you put it outside and you try to just monitor as much of the conditions that you can like weather and nutrients,” he said.

Litz has competed two other times but finally made the winners board this year.

“It’s really cool because you get to see your name on the board in Circleville forever so your part of the Circleville archives,” he said. “That was my whole goal to begin with.”

The Circleville Pumpkin Show closes at 10pm Saturday.
