Awesome Pumpkin Action

Ok, here are the good bits.

It seems that someone had the idea to make a theme for this pumpkin festival. A theme that would dictate what the glorious pumpkin sculptures would look like. I want to find the person responsible for this theme and thank them.

When you think pumpkins, what is the first and most logical theme that jumps to mind? Thats right, OUTER SPACE.

First up was the solar system. This thing was huge, an entire solar system made from pumpkins.
I HIGHLY recommend clicking this one to see it a little bigger. Clearly the sun is in the centre, then lots of green pumpkins to represent space, and orange pumpkins to represent the orbits of the planets. At certain points in the orbits, there is a bigger pumpkin for each planet. The planet-kins have the names written on them. Here is Saturn and Earth (Erde)
Once you have seen this awesomeness, I am sure you are thinking, OK, pumpkins are round, planets and stars are round, not too much of a stretch really. The impressiveness was all in the size of the display.

So we move on to man's exploration of space. Here is a pumpkin rocket.
Which of course flew to the moon. Where the pumpkin astronauts landed....
The pumpkin astronauts needed to get around... so they would of course need a pumpkin moon rover....
And what would those brave pumpnauts discover on the moon? They would drive around until they found some strange looking moon volcanoes...
I am sure the pumpnauts were amazed to discover moon volcanoes, since there are really no such thing, but I am sure this impossibility was nothing compared to what was behind the volcanoes.
That is right, pumpkin aliens. Just like something out of the X-files (p-files?) This was the pinnacle of awesome for me right here.

Close up on the alien. I will call him pumpy.
As strange as the outer space theme was, I thought it was made even more amazing by the path from some fact based displays on planets and exploration off into fantasy land of volcanoes and aliens.

This was truly the worlds greatest pumpkin themed exposition, the signs did not disappoint.
