    I’ve never tried Roasted Pumpkin Seeds, but I have friends that go on about them. Will have to give them a try. Here’s a pumpkin game that can be used for church groups and other meetings that have a Pumpkin Theme for fun: http://www.4thoughtmedia.com/sumpin-pumpkin.html

      Yes, Alan, you need to give pumpkin seeds a try. I like them for the crunch. Thanks for sharing the game idea, too!
