Collector Pumpkin Festival

Last weekend we headed up to Collector to their annual Pumpkin Festival which was great! Lots of yummy food, interesting things to see and lots for the kids to do. I was really surprised when they announced the heaviest pumpkin of the festival. How heavy you ask....



Yep - that's 253KG. It was huge! We did the totally tourist lean-on-a-pumpkin-for-a-piccie thing...



Then we checked out the decorator pumpkins - these were the kids faves... Patted the alpacas



Boys sat on tractors while girls had ice cream



Then needed to chill out after all the excitement!



Last but not least we had to have a squizz at the scarecrows on the way back to the car. This one caught misters eye...

Oh my goodness! Can you imagine how many roast dinners that pumpkin could do? Or how many pumpkin soups?

Love the photos of the kids and the "beast" too. Glad it was a great day!
