The World's Fair and My Sister!

If you've ever been to Morton, IL, you know that the Morton Pumpkin Festival in September is the big thing around here. I mean, THE big thing. Native Morton-ites call it "The World's Fair!" A few years ago, the Punkin' Chuckin' contest was even featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Big stuff, eh? 

This year, most likely our last year in Morton, we will get to enjoy the Pumpkin Festival with a celebrity! The theme this year is "Christmas in the Pumpkin Patch," and the Chamber of Commerce called for entrants to design a logo for this year's festival around that theme. And my sister WON! I'm so excited - Em's logo will be everywhere - in the paper, on festival t-shirts, printed on the race shirts - everywhere! I can't wait. 

So here it is, a first peek at the logo for this year's Pumpkin Festival (though the colors aren't coming through quite right on this scan):

Go Em!!!
