The gourds range in size, shape and color. Stands showcasing the pumpkins are placed across every inch of the property.

\"In 1978, the Pumpkin House began with only 4 pumpkins carved for a Halloween display. Since then, the number of hand-carved pumpkins has grown to 3,000,\" according to the festival's website. \"Each year Ceredo and Kenova welcome nearly 30,000 visitors to the Pumpkin House.\"

Since its inception, the Halloween-inspired display has created a \"sense of tradition and community\" surrounding the annual festival.

The C-K Autumn Fest fest includes a parade, baking contests and more.
