A scary season for pumpkins

Also, let's stop with the whole pumpkin spice craze.

I’ll preface this piece of news by saying that I enjoy a good piece of pumpkin pie as much as the next guy — but this whole pumpkin spiced anything craze is just a travesty.

Anyways, it seems excessive rains in the Midwest have done damage to the pumpkin crop that’s used to make canned pumpkin pie filling, so pick yours up early.

Also, just because I thought this was interesting, more than 90 percent of the American pumpkin crop comes from Peoria, Illinois.

Who knew?
