History

Halloween is a spooky holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses”, watching scary movies, and carving pumpkins. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried this tradition to America in the 1800’s.

Pumpkins

Pumpkins are a type of squash and considered a fruit. In 1584, a Frenchman exploring America came across what he called “gros melons”. The English translation of this term was “pompions”, which has now been evolved into the current “pumpkin”. During Halloween, pumpkins are used for carving and also to make pies and other foods. The largest pumpkin pie ever baked was in 2005 and weighed 2020 pounds!
