DEC 23

Night of the Radishes - Mexico - In the country around Oaxaca, radishes grow
very large. Residents carve sculptures out of them for the city's annual
radish sculpture competition. Contestants usually use several radishes to
portray a familiar landmark, a favorite public figure, or a Christmas scene.
The best win prizes.
