While Florida tries to nominate a state pie, it looks like New Hampshire may soon have a state fruit: the pumpkin. At

recently passed the House. The next step is for the young pumpkin pushers to testify at a Senate hearing, according to
The
Boston Globe. New Hampshire hosts an annual pumpkin festival and has, in the past, produced pumpkins of
record-setting size.New Hampshire supports pumpkin as state fruit
