While searching for Backward Glances photo negatives, I seemed to have hit the jackpot a couple of weeks ago. Tucked deep in one of the boxes was an envelope packed with photo negatives from the 1976 Spring Hope Pumpkin Festival. We will continue to publish some of these never before seen photographs in The Graphic's Backward Glances to celebrate the upcoming festival.
I vividly recall the Pumpkin Festivals during the mid 70s. My oldest sister, who was 17 years older than me, lived in Spring Hope and always found the perfect spot for parade viewing.
