In Keene, New Hampshire, that really happens every fall! People fill the streets with thousands of carved pumpkins, and each one has a little candle flickering inside.  \nThose flickering pumpkins have a special name, and it is a fun one to say: jack-o'-lanterns. To make one, you cut off the top, scoop out the seeds, and carve a face with big eyes and a wide smile. At the Keene festival, so many people carved pumpkins that the town set a world record for the most lit at once.  \nSetting a record like that takes a lot of helping hands, and the whole town pitches in. Volunteers build tall towers, and they stack pumpkin after pumpkin all the way to the top. Long ago the first festival had far fewer pumpkins, but over the years the piles grew and grew.  \nAll that growing led to a truly wild number: about 30,000 lit pumpkins glowing together in one night! That is more pumpkins than there are students in many whole towns. Other places carve pumpkins too, but few can light up the sky the way this little town does.  \nThe Night of 30,000 Jack-o'-Lanterns  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What do people fill the streets with in Keene every fall?\u003Cbr>A.
