With the current situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, many events have been rescheduled or postponed to new dates, some later in the year and some pushed out to 2021. This left the local community of Circleville, Ohio in a search for answers on the fate of the event that closes out fairs for the year. They were able to get an answer in April.
“As of today, we are planning to hold the festival,” Keller shared, going on to add: “And, so I thought it was appropriate to go ahead and get the resolution to committee and City Council for approval, to kind of let the public aware that we are planning to host and hold the 114th edition of the Circleville Pumpkin Show.”
The Circleville Pumpkin Show starts the third Wednesday in October and runs through to Saturday.
