Halloween is three weeks away but the children of John and Nancy Bihlmeyer, 7926 Schneider Road in Freedom Township, are getting a head start. However, the Great Pumpkin - or Pumpkins - are ready. Having a "devil" of a time with a 103-pound pumpkin at left is Daniel, 4 1/2, while his sisters, Katrina, 18 months and Sharon, 3, in clown costumes join in the fun. Mrs. Bihlmeyer made the costumes and grew the pumpkins in her garden. The pumpkins will be used for fall decoration.
