Thought I'd add a bit of Halloween Trivia every few days or so.
The first Jack O'Lanterns were actually made from turnips.
The largest pumpkin ever measured was grown by Norm Craven, who broke the world record in 1993 with a 836 lb. pumpkin.

<article id="post-111541" class="post-111541 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-sex-relationships"> When and where did Sunbonnet Sue originate?
A couple of theories have evolved. Generally credit is given to Bertha L. Corbett, an illustrator from Minneapolis and Chicago in the early 1900s.
The story goes that Miss Corbett was trying to prove to artist friends it wasn'’t necessary for a figure to have its face revealed to be expressive. So she sketched some tiny girls whose countenances were entirely hidden by huge sunbonnets.
These designs were received with such enthusiasm that Miss Corbett continued along this line and designed postcards, stationery, a book on sunbonnet babies, and then a primer. She even created the Sunbonnet Girl used on the Dutch Cleanser can.-----from Blisstree
