By Jerry Curry, Staff Writer

Fall is here, and Thanksgiving is drawing near.

One of the best-dressed yards celebrating the upcoming season belongs to Brian Beams at 409 Jackson Street in Salem. His property is literally covered with the seasonal symbol for Thanksgiving and Halloween—pumpkins!

Perhaps you have seen the property and wondered where all those pumpkins came from. When asked about how many adorn his yard, he replied, ”about 500 pumpkins.”

Beams grows the pumpkins in Washington County on his farm between Pekin and Salem. He has celebrated the season this way for the last 10 years.

What does he do after the season is over? Beam gives them to a relative to feed to his cows.
