Then bring it to New Bremen's Pumpkinfest. Oct. 14th is a long way off our weigh-off is this Saturday, Sept 27th.

We give out prize $ to the top 20 places. (Please see www.growgiants.com for details)

* We have decided to give an extra $200 to help out on gas expense who brings a 1,000+ pumpkin or squash to our event.

* Bring two pumpkins and have the 2nd one weighed at Hilger's Friendly Market the next day in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Top 3 combined weights at New Bremen and Hilger's will recieve an additional $300 for 1st, $200 for 2nd, & $100 for 3rd. Come and enjoy both weigh-offs.

Also we will be the first to have pumpkin go-cart racing. We will be running teams of 6 changing tires before launching the cart down the hill. Brackets will be set for heat races, so should be a great evening of entertainment.

If you show G, I will pay for all the pancakes you want to eat. I assume this will require a big pile pancakes also.
