My favorite is the carved pumpkins setting on the porch or in the yard, some are so well carved you have to stop and take a second look.

Vernon Street, which at this point even gets a bit of $ backing from the city or the city's tourism minister.<BR/><BR/>tombo -- what has amazed me since coming to Prescott is the extent to which grown-ups dress up for the holiday. I dunno -- is it a yuppie thing?<BR/><BR/>anil -- I've no idea if scarecrows are still mounted in farmers' fields these days or not. My guess is that what we see for the Halloween/Harvest season are nostalgic symbols of earlier, simpler times.Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-59471349177208243572008-10-10T11:24:00.000-07:002008-10-10T11:24:00.000-07:00So different from those put up in the fields, in I...So different from those put up in the fields, in India, but sharing the same intrigue :)Anil Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02422187314611747278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-62557286969752993762008-10-10T09:22:00.000-07:002008-10-10T09:22:00.000-07:00It always amazes me how much decoration goes on in...It always amazes me how much decoration goes on in our fair town. <BR/><BR/>Love the political scarecrows....

I decided not to carve a pumkin after getting only two German kids last year. Too much trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
