Pumpkin Fest displays

This year the theme of the pumpkin festival was Fairy Tales. So there were a whole bunch of displays/dioramas crafted from pumpkins showing various famous childrens stories. To be honest, I was not as impressed as last year's outer space theme.
Some of the displays, like Gulliver, were pretty great, but there were all too many that seemed to be just a couple of wooden mannequins standing in a small patch of pumpkins. that is uncool.
Here is the very nice Gulliver one. You can see they did a pretty nice giant Gulliver getting tied down by the Lilliputians.
Up a little closer you can see some of the details. Also you get an idea of how huge this particular display was.Now... Little Red Riding hood. Lame. Two wooden figures standing in some pumpkins. They could have made the characters, or some trees or some other think out of pumpkins surely. It is like they were not even trying.
Very disappointing.
