Extreme Pumpkin by John Clement Howe

I realize that we did a pretty good job of covering the official October veggie in our Michigan Pumpkins feature a couple weeks ago, but I want a pumpkin on the Absolute Michigan homepage, so there. You can check out farm markets and other pumpkin-related businesses at Absolute Michigan keyword pumpkin.

I was also at the Frankfort Fall Festival last weekend and got some pretty cool video of pumpkin chucking with trebuchets that we're featuring over at betsiebay.net.

Speaking of Frankfort, the photo by John is of a pumpkin carved by Michigan's premier pumpkin carvers, Ed Moody of Frankfort aka "Pumpkin Ed". It's also one of many in the Absolute Michigan pool - check out the Michigan Pumpkin slideshow!
