Entertainment:

Photos with Grand Champion Gourd
How often do you get to see and touch a hard-to-believe, larger-than-life 1-ton pumpkin (2,000 pounds!)—let alone get to have your photo taken alongside something so extraordinary.

Kick Back, Watch NFL and NCAA Football and MLB Playoffs LIVE
On the Giant Screen in the Xfinity Take 5 Lounge

Audience Participation Drives the Pie Eating Contests
