While at the County Fair, the Shepherds see a forty-seven-pound pumpkin. Who does the pumpkin resemble in the short story collection, Wanda Hickey’s Night of Golden Memories?

The forty-seven-pound pumpkin is an anomaly on display at the fair, that bears a striking resemblance to the current President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This serves to help date the story at the time of the narrator's childhood to the years between 1933 to 1945.
