Circleville Pumpkin Show
Yes, Road Trips Foodies: the “world’s largest” pumpkin pie is featured at the annual Pumpkin Show in Circleville, Ohio (about 25 miles south of Columbus, Ohio). It takes place October 16 through 19, 2019.
Last year’s pumpkin pie was 14 feet in diameter, and took 10 hours to bake. Ingredients included 360 pounds of sugar, 795 pounds of pumpkin, 60 pounds of powered milk, 60 dozen eggs, 75 gallons of water, and 400 pounds of flour.
In addition to the pie, highlights include the giant pumpkin weigh in (October 16), and the pumpkin pie eating contests (October 19). A parade will be held each day. There will be lots of craft demonstrations and entertainment as well as pumpkins.
