JACKSON — Two celebrations displaying the pulchritudinous power of pumpkins are currently happening through Oct. 31: the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce’s 36th Return of the Pumpkin People and the Fryeburg Business Association’s Pumpkin People, the latter being held for the first time this year as a way to celebrate that organization’s 10th anniversary.

Given all of the challenges of the past year, at least some things have remained the same — the foliage’s spectacular scenery that is still hanging on two weeks past Columbus Day, and seeing the whimsical Pumpkin People displays along Mount Washington Valley's highways and byways.
