Written by Kelly on October 9th, 2012

They’re back! On October 1, 2012 the Jackson Area of New Hampshire was busy checking in the Return of the Pumpkin People. These quirky, unique and often down right hilarious Pumpkin People show up year after year sticking around until October 21st.

There is a map provided with a list of all the displays to visit and vote for your favorite. It is a self-guided tour enjoyed at any time you decide to go. You will be visiting some of New Hampshire’s best restaurants, lodging properties, services, stores and more.

Columbus Day weekend is a big draw for visitors in the Mount Washington Valley because of the beautiful foliage. The Pumpkin People is just one of many activities for locals and tourists to enjoy. I have so much fun finding them and taking pictures! My husband thinks I am nuts but still drives me all around!

The artwork on some of the faces are amazing. A lot of work goes into making the scenes. This was my favorite:

  2. Oooh there are some really cute displays! I giggled the most at the presidential one. Sometimes I wonder, as I listen to what the candidates are saying, if they might actually have pumpkins for heads! LOL! Thanks for sharing the fun :-)

    I’ve never been to NH but I’d love to see the eastern states sometime!

  3. Too funny!!! My favorite is the Pinocchio and Geppetto scene!
