The Ohio Valley Giant Pumpkin Growers (OVGPG) will be hosting their annual seed auction at 8:00 pm EST Saturday December 15, 2007. First, some thank-yous; a big thank you to the OVGPG directors for gathering seeds, and making this possible. Thanks to all the generous growers who donated seeds. Thanks to everyone for all the participation, and anyone I forgot. It takes everyone to keep things going smoothly.

The auction will be run in the OVGPG chat room, and the format will be similar to past years. Bidding will be in $5 increments, I will give first, second and third call and the sale will be final. All bidders must identify themselves with an email address, and I will be in contact concerning payment immediately after the bidding. Lots will be sold in multiples (high bidder takes first pick, and then remaining multiples offered to consecutive lower bidders) as indicated in our list:
