Festivals are very popular in Germany
and the autumn is the favorite time for most of them. Pumpkinfest is
full of lots of pumpkin related themes. Heinrich found a huge pile of
all different kinds of pumpkins and got his picture taken with them.
Besides pumpkins there were also a lot of craft displays. There was one table that had a bunch of animals on it. At first they looked little stuffed pillows, all soft and cuddly. But when Heinrich looked closer they were really rocks painted to look like animals. Cats and owls and even a bobcat. Nice friends but no bears.
Outside was a cool looking barrette
holder. They were hooked onto the long pigtails with the painted face
of a girl.
A little further along there was a castle. On the castle was a series of targets and the kids could shoot at the castle targets with a toy crossbow. It would shoot little dart-like arrows and there were prizes for anyone who could hit a couple of the targets.
It was a fun day and Heinrich took
advantage of the Pumpkinfest food. For lunch he had a pumpkin brat –
a sausage with pumpkin seeds in it. It actually tasted pretty good
and Heinrich could really taste the pumpkin seeds. The brat was twice
as big as the bun so he broke it in half and doubled the brat on the
bun. Delicious!
