During the President's Gala at the Festivals and Events Ontario Conference this past weekend in Niagara Falls, Ontario - Pumpkinfest was recognized in three categories. We were awarded Overall Best Poster in the $100,000 to $500,000 budget category.

We were also finalists for Best Promotional Campaign in the same budget category. Although we didn't win we are still very pleased to be recognized by our peers as one of the top three outstanding promotional campaigns of 2011.

Finally, we earned our continued place on the coveted "Top 100 Events in Ontario" list. With over 850 events in Ontario, we pride ourselves in holding this position alongside events such as the Luminato Festival in Toronto, the Canada Blooms Festival in Ottawa and the Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest.

Thanks to all the growers and visitors that support our festival so we can continue to offer a world-class event to the South-Western Ontario region.
