Hello everyone!

My name is Neramith and I am a student at the University of Western Ontario, and a member of Engineers Without Borders.

I am organizing this year's Operation Pumpkin Drop. This is a fundraiser event where we raise a giant pumpkin in the air (last year it was around 750 lbs) and drop it from 100ft. We are trying to show students that erradicating poverty can be a reality (ie. SMASHING POVERTY) and the money that we raise is going to help fund sending volunteers overseas.

We are having a problem with getting a pumpkin that is close to London, ON. We have a pumpkin from Phil Hunt, but it is near Lindsay, ON, and it would take us over 4 hours to get there.

Does anybody know any giant pumpkins around the London area, or the Niagra Falls region?

Feel free to email me at neramithk@gmail.com or call me at (519) 857-8521.

Thanks!
