Why attend the 2009 Ohio Gourd Show? Well, anyone who enjoys plants, crafts and fall yard decorations simply must grow hard-shell gourds.photo of hardshell gourd jackolantern If you're unfamiliar with hard-shell gourds, let me tell you right now: they will amaze you once you learn about them! The jack-o'-lantern pictured at right may look like a pumpkin, but he's not: he's a dried hard-shell gourd and will never rot! To learn more about hard-shell gourds -- and have a fun time to boot -- you may wish to visit the 2009 Ohio Gourd Show. Commencing Saturday, September 26, 2009 (9 AM to 5 PM), show hours for the 2009 Ohio Gourd Show end on Sunday, September 27, 2009 (9 AM to 4 PM). For more information, please consult my article.
