So I went to the Pumpkin Show today...
In the '70s and '80s it was an annal trip to the Pumpkin Show for me. I had an aunt and uncle that lived in Circleville and we'd go as a family. It had been 40+ years since my last trip there, so I was excited to walk the streets and see the craft booths and get some of the pumpkin-themed food. I was able to do those things, but I'd be lying if I said it was entirely enjoyable. I saw so much right-wing, Trump-themed merchandise at booth after booth. When did festival season become shove-your-MAGA-loyalty-in-other-people's-faces season?
Thanks for listening to me vent. If you go, please do as I did and stop by and see the good folks manning the Pickaway county Democratic Party booth. God bless them for working in that toxic environment.
