pumpkin festival

I think I'm going to head out to the pumpkin festival in Virginia over the bank holiday weekend, so I should have plenty of blog-worthy material come Monday. Tonight there was supposed to be a 'pumpkin procession' through the town (which is no more than a single main street really). All of the houses were going to black out, and the pumpkins were to provide the only illumination. I'm sad I missed out. I'm sad too that I am going to miss the finale where a virgin Garda from Kells will be burned alive in a giant wicker statue while hundreds of Cavan people swing slowly from side to side and chant.
Transition year students from Cavan add the finishing touches to this year's pumpkin festival 'spectacular'.

Ummm ... U're kidding about the human-sacrifice part, right? What odd pagan customs U folk have over there, tho they're right in the spirit of the season.... But U folks sometimes think Americans R strange...? -- TAD.
haha, no I'm just making a jokey reference to the wicker man!
