One of the nation's largest pumpkin festivals, the Circleville Pumpkin Show, gets underway this week in Circleville, Ohio.

The show opened Wednesday for its 106th year and runs for four days with more than a hundred pumpkin varietals, the Columbus Dispatch reports.

The pumpkin varieties have been expanding every year," Kurt Engle, manager of the show's pumpkin sales, told the paper. "But most of what's sold are used for decorating."
