Pumpkins -- Not Just for Scary Faces!
The pumpkin is a food worthy of your consideration. One little realized fact
about pumpkins is that they are members of the squash family, so those with an allergy to squash may wish to limit how much pumpkin pie is consumed!
While the Pumpkin Capital of the World is Morton, Illinois, main headquarters
for the Libbey Corporation, there are pumpkin festivals all over the US. Since
we live in Oklahoma, below are two listings for Halloween events:
McLemore Pumpkin Farm -- Colony, OK
This pumpkin farm is a working farm that provides country tours of our pumpkin patch and our baby farm animals. We also host activities such as the maize run, wienie roast and we have open fields to run and play in. Open from
September 20-October 31 and is open by appointment.
Tour Group Services: Group Rates, Tour Bus Parking
Event Hours: 10am-7pm http://mclemorepumpkinfarm.com
Event Contact: Aquilla McLemore mclemore@hintonet.net 405-929-7328
and
Halloween on Main - Downtown, Main Street -- Sayre, Oklahoma
Merchants host a fun afternoon of trick or treating, free hot dogs and drinks.
Oct 31, 2006
General Info: Free Admission, Handicap Accessible
Event Hours: Tue 3pm-5pm
Highway Corridor: I-40, Route 66 - 2 hours west of Oklahoma City
Event Contact: Niki Callahan Phone: (580) 928-2514
The majority of the pumpkins mature in the US in October -- good reason they
are associated with the spooky October 31st holiday! The fruit is high in
vitamin A and potassium and is 90% water. Pumpkins have been used medicinally for freckle removal and snakebite remedies, while pumpkin seeds help the male population avoid prostate problems!
While pumpkins themselves have no cholesterol, recipes that USE pumpkin mash call for eggs, cream and butter, which turns a very healthy item into an
artery clogging nightmare. Try using healthier substitutes and enjoy your
pumpkin pie topped with fat-free cool whip this year.
And from our humorist site of the month at
www.cavernsofblood.com/halloween-jokes/index.htm comes this pumpkin joke: What do you use to mend a jackolantern?
