Forms.
As
usual the top three pumpkins will receive prizes
in the amounts of $100 for 1st, $50 for 2nd and
$25 for 3rd. We must receive a photo of the 4-H'er
with the winning pumpkin in order to award prizes,
so make sure you get a good, high quality, photo
for the web site and other publications.
As always, the first fifty counties or contestants
to send in weights will receive a free t-shirt.
Hopefully this site will provide any information
you might need to start growing your pumpkins.
If you have any advice or information you would
like to pass along to everyone, send it me and
I'll get it posted. In addition, if you have any
comments or suggestions regarding this site or
the contest, please contact Lindsey Fodor at the State 4-H Office.
I
wish you all the best of luck, and look forward
to hearing from you.
