Pumpkin Show Playing Cards are decks of souvenir playing cards that feature various parts of Circleville, the Circleville Pumpkin Show or the State of Ohio.  Each year a new deck of cards is published by Newt's Playing Cards that highlight the fun and uniqueness of Circleville, Ohio.

History of Pumpkin Show Playing Cards

BRIEF HISTORY
---- Back in 2004 Newt's Playing Cards published its first deck of Pumpkin Show Playing Cards.  The deck was just normal cards in a metal tin.  There are limited quantities of these available at Newt's Playing Cards.
---- After seeing how well folks responded to the cards they came back with a new deck in 2005 that featured old time photos from past scenes in Circleville, including some of the early Pumpkin Shows.  This deck was carried by various stores in town and has already sold more than 3000 decks.  There are limited quantities of these available at Newt's Playing Cards, CVS and Circleville Apothecary.
---- In 2006 we introduced another souvenir deck that featured images from the first 50 years of the Circleville Pumpkin Show.   The deck was a HUGE success with more than 3000 decks sold.  The deck was sold through various stores in town, some of the stores still have a few of these in stock.
---- We also teamed up with Circleville Gifts in 2006 and introduced "The Mural Deck" which includes the 100th Anniversary Mural on the card back, but a few other unique paintings from mural artist, Eric Henn.  There are limited quantities of these available at Circleville Gifts and Newt's Playing Cards.
---- Ohio became the theme for 2007 as we introduced a deck of Buckeye Playing Cards.  The deck features folk lore, history and tons of other information about the Ohio Buckeye.

So we invite you to stick around and check out a little of the history of Pumpkin Show Playing Cards.

What's New for the 2008 Pumpkin Show?

This year we are introducing a minimum of 2 decks for the Pumpkin Show!

   DECK 1:  We did a deck featuring YOUR pets - dogs, cats and who knows what else!

Last year many of you brought your pets by our booth to get their pictures taken.  We took hundreds of pictures from the actual parade and even more of pets in our booth.  From those images we are creating our first edition of "Pets on Parade - Pumpkin Show" playing cards that will released the first day of the 2008 Pumpkin Show.

If you are in the Pet Parade in 2008 please be sure to stop by and get your pets photo taken for a chance to be in our 2009 deck of cards.  Please remember that NO ONE is guaranteed to be in this deck and it cost NOTHING to have your pets photo taken.

Brief History of the Circleville Pumpkin Show

This year Circleville will celebrate the 102nd Anniversary of the Pumpkin Show!
In 1903 a small business had a small dream.  Now in 2008 (skipped 4 years because of the wars) we will celebrate the biggest, best, Circleville Pumpkin Show EVER!

We invite you to join us October 18-21 as we join in with thousands of others to eat just about anything pumpkin, watch tons of free entertainment and celebrate the Greatest FREE Show on Earth!

Known as the "Oldest and Largest Festival," The Circleville Pumpkin Show brings tons of family, fun to downtown Circleville with rides, games and more.  Probably one of the best parts of the Circleville Pumpkin Show is the fact that ADMISSION IS FREE!  This has made it a HUGE hit for not only the local community, but people from all over the world.  Don't miss the fun...be there.
