The pumpkins and analysts congratulate all the winners, particularly Kay Hagan, whose win was predicted on October 24 by The Great Heads of Statesville Exit Poll.
On this site, we will continue to post photos and video from the actual Crossroads Pumpkin Fest, one of North Carolina's premier events. And we hope you'll mark your calendars for the first Saturday in November when the pumpkin chunkin' and downtown street festival is held.
In the short time this blog has been live, it has been visited by people in 24 states and 8 foreign countries. And CNN even checked us out!
I invite you to check out this recap video.

Purpose of a Media Preview
Do you want media there the day of your event? Yes. But isn't it more important to get advance publicity? Yes.
This is a journal of the why's and how's of putting together a media preview to promote a festival.

A Big Thank You ----
All of the candidates that I could get ahold of were invited to this event. Some of their staff persons laughed and howled when I shared with them this event. I was calling asking for a photo for the students to use as a guide. Most of the candidates responded. A great big thank you goes out to the Statesville Record & Landmark for all their assistance in pulling this event together! And, a big thank you to the Statesville Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Statesville Downtown Development Corporation, Inc. for letting me do this event.
