Apart from the chunkin competition there was a midway and stage to keep people entertained. It is good to get away from New York every once in a while if only as a reminder that the rest of the country is not like here. I can't imagine anyone in the city would ever sincerely rename french fries freedom fries.
If you didn't want freedom fries or other standard midway fare you could eat pumpkin waffles, pumpkin funnel cake and pumpkin pie (Mrs. Smith - very disappointing). There was also a pumpkin cooking contest. Samples could be had of pumpkin donuts, delicious pumpkin bourbon cake, pumpkin apple muffins, spicy pumpkin cake, pumpkin puffs, baked pumpkin, pumpkin danish, pumpkin bars, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin brownies, pumpkin ravioli, and several varieties of pumpkin chili. These could be washed down with homemade pumpkin ale and apple-pumpkin sparkling wine.
