As a lover of fall, I was super excited when I heard about the Morton Pumpkin Festival. In case you don't know, Morton (which is a city near Peoria) is the pumpkin capital of the world. They had rides, a parade, and a lot of other things that Anderson would probably have been more interested in if he were older. As for me, I had a pumpkin soft serve ice cream cone and it basically made my day. :)
