Pumpkins

That last thing from the city manager was kinda depressing, so let’s just look at some pictures from last week’s Pumpkin Fair.

 

      

Manteca Pumpkin Fair

 

Here’s an early look at the Manteca Pumpkin Fair.  I got there early this year and got lots of free trinkets!  And talked to a few of the political movers and shakers.

Video of the Manteca Pumpkin Fair. At the time I didn't know about the controversy / dispute between the people at the Democratic Party booth and the Republican Party booth. The Manteca Bulletin has a good story on issues on the editorial page. (In the Bulletin, news stories end up in the editorial page and the editorial opinion is on the front page.) Although I have to agree the dispute is an affront to the right of free political speech.

Both of the groups were welcoming to me. And to their credit the republicans didn't mind me asking about the dunking cage and even showed me the "Obama mask" the guy who was being dunked was wearing.
