What a terrific evening our Pumpkin Pageant proved to be this year. On Friday (28 October) we were delighted to welcome families from around the village to bring their children, along with carved pumpkins, to the Memorial Hall where our resident witch welcomed them. Babies, children and adults turned out in fantastic fancy dress costumes to take part in the fun and games provided by members of the Society. Spooky cakes were devoured and the inevitable mountain of sweets consumed. Over 40 beautifully carved and decorated pumpkins were on display and children took pumpkin seeds, flower pots and instructions home to grow their own for next year. Many thanks to John Dale for providing an enormous pumpkin for one of the games and slices for everybody to take away with them. Fair to say our Pumpkin Pageant looks like becoming a permanent fixture in the Capel Horticultural Society calendar. Do take a look at our gallery for some pictures of the event.
