Great pumpkin show as I also was in attendance..Much to do and easy to
get lost.It is a social visit (sister-in-law lives 20 miles away) as well
as a good time.The  one catch with the Circleville show is trying to
enter a pumpkin..
Unless you live within 21 miles of Circleville, Ohio..you are
automatically out.
This was said to me right from the person running the pumkin weighoffs
etc.
As for the seeds that you bought..I seen the same seeds for sale and
judging
strictly by what I asked the people working at the event and the "looks"
of the pumpkins there.I would say that they are the Atlantic giants.I
still can taste my pumpkin waffles, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin fudge,
pumpkin pie
and pumpkin burgers that they had for sale. What a pumkin show!! 
Circleville has their own webpage where you may look at some pictures of
the event..Can't remember the exact address but do a web search under
pumkin shows and you will find it.
