thread_title:  Don't confuse them with Morton's festival 

message: The following paragraph is a little confusing.
"In 2010, the Keene Pumpkin Festival organizers, Center Stage Cheshire County, announced they plan to step down from running the event, leaving it in limbo for 2011, unless another organizer takes over the event.[4][5]. It has been announced the Pumpkin Festival will continue and is scheduled to take place October 22nd, 2011. The festival has secured new organizers, please see website: http://pumpkinfestival2011.org/"
First it was appropriate when there was question of whether or not the PumpkinFest would continue. But once a new organizer came along the paragraph should have been edited to make it clear that there was question as to whether or not the 2011 festival would occur. The second and third sentences do make that clear. However, the first sentence actually makes it sound as if the future of the festival is still in question including whether or not the festival will be held in 2011. While there should be some question as to whether or not Let It Shine will host the festival again in 2012, the question of the 2011 festival taking place has been answered. So something should be reworded. Perhaps the paragraph should read as
"In 2010, the Keene Pumpkin Festival organizers, Center Stage Cheshire County, announced they planned to step down from running the event, leaving it in limbo for 2011, unless another organizer were to take over the event.[4][5].

message: Who entered the 2013 record? The number is incorrect. I was taking video at the time they made the announcement and just went over the announcment, it was 30,589, not 30,581. I'll upload the video to YouTube and try posting the link here for folks to hear the announcement. -anonymous 10/19/2013 11:33 PM  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.92.130.137 (talk) 03:39, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: 30,581 is the number given in the Keene Sentinel article. I just added the reference for it. I don't know who first added the figure, but it doesn't matter who, does it? As long as it's verifiable. --Ken Gallager (talk) 12:55, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Thank you for the response, but the fact is that there is no more Keene Pumpkin Festival. Any festival that starts this year is brand new and is in Year 1.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.150.96.1 (talk) 17:12, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The anonymous editor seems unaware that the same group that organized the previous Pumpkinfests in Keene are still organizing this year's one in Laconia. The new festival occurring this year in Swanzey may be notable enough after a few years and sufficient press coverage to warrant its own article under Monadnock Pumpkin Festival. I would recommend against starting such an article now, though, because at this point it would merely be an advertisement. --Ken Gallager (talk) 19:21, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: This anonymous editor is very much aware that the same group who has only done 3 pumpkin festivals (yes, I know because I attended EVERY pumpkin festival since the start)is starting a NEW festival in Laconia. Best of luck to them, but please do not take the accolades and notoriety that belongs to the now defunct Keene pumpkin festival. As you suggested above, you need to build your own notoriety and fame.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.150.96.1 (talk) 13:24, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The exact same can be said about the Laconia Pumpkin Festival. Calling the Keene Pumpkin Festival the Let It Shine Pumpkin Festival is retroactively changing history. It was never called that in the first 24 years.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pumpkintruth (talk • contribs) 12:37, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
