There are so many carved pumpkins stacked on scaffolds that they climb higher than a two-story house. This really happened in Keene, New Hampshire, at an event called the Keene Pumpkin Festival. How could one little city gather tens of thousands of jack-o'-lanterns in a single night?  \nThe answer starts with an ordinary carving knife and thousands of helping  \nhands. People from all over the region brought pumpkins they had scooped out and carved at home, then added them to towering metal frames downtown. Each pumpkin needs a candle or a small light inside, and volunteers spent hours climbing ladders to keep every flame glowing. Carving one pumpkin is easy, but carving a whole city's worth takes an entire community working together.  \nThat community teamwork is exactly what pushed Keene into the record books. In the year 2013, the festival lit about 30,000 jack-o'-lanterns at once, which set a Guinness World Record for the most lit pumpkins in one place. Keene had chased that record for years, sometimes winning it and sometimes losing it to other towns that wanted the title too. Can you imagine keeping track of 30,000 flickering lights and counting every single one?  \nCounting all those pumpkins was only possible because people planned the display like a giant puzzle. Organizers arranged the jack-o'-lanterns on tall towers so that judges could see and tally them row by row. The glowing faces were happy, silly, and spooky, but never truly scary, because the festival was meant to be fun for families. Music played, cocoa steamed in paper cups, and the whole street smelled like toasted pumpkin seeds.  \nThat warm, family feeling is why jack-o'-lantern displays have spread far beyond one New Hampshire street. Today you can visit huge pumpkin shows in places like New York and Ohio, where thousands of carved faces line trails and bridges. The custom of carving pumpkins itself came to America with Irish immigrants, who once carved turnips back home before finding that pumpkins were bigger and easier. So the next time you scoop out one pumpkin, remember that a whole city once turned that simple idea into 30,000 glowing lights.  \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 is the main idea of the third paragraph?\u003Cbr>A.
