Today is the Keene Pumpkin Festival. The Children's parade started at 12pm, the kids had fun walking in the parade. The weather is cloudy, windy and cool but at least no rain. All the food booths are serving different food items so there aren't 25 booths serving hamburgers and hot dogs. We had pumpkin bisque soup, minestrone soup, chili, handcut fries and brats to eat. Then we had pumpkin pie in a cone, maple cookies and fried dough for dessert. We came back to the hotel to rest for a couple of hours and will go back around 7pm for the lighting of the jack-o-laterns and the fireworks. Here are some pictures.
