NOVEMBER PROGRAMS Header Goes Here Tue minis ad moloreet nim in henim zzri- eros at, quatue dolendre moluptatet incipis commy niatum nonsed tatue dolobortinis o When Pilgrims arrived in the New World one of the many interesting discoveries they made was the Native American s use of pumpkins. It is known that American Indian tribes grew pumpkins to use as food many years before European explorers arrived. In fact, Header information relative to Goes pumpkins dates back Here many centuries. Archaeologists in Mexico discovered pumpkin fragments that date back to 7000-5500 BC. o The word pumpkin originates from the Greek word pepon, meaning large melon. The word pepon was pronounced in different languages several ways before the American colonists called it pumpkin. Early Americans would slice off the pumpkin top, remove the seeds, fill it with milk, spices and syrup, and bake it for hours in hot ashes. Thus we have the first version of pumpkin pie.
