Sambo,
I noticed on the Yadkin Valley website that the Pumpkin Festival is on October 26th.

Is this incorrect?

Farming- a bunch of catastrophies that result in a lifestyle

^ I'm praying I get one big enough to make the trip to Yadkin. Any pre entry needed? Or is it a show up with your pumpkin and hope like hell?? :}
