New Hampshire supports pumpkin as state fruit

While Florida tries to nominate a state pie, it looks like New Hampshire may soon have a state fruit: the pumpkin. At the urging of a group of third and fourth graders from a New Hampshire elementary school, a NH state representative sponsored a bill to make the orange gourd the state's official fruit. Much to the joy of the little lobbyists, the bill 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.
