Anamosa, IA BPIowegian@aol.com

Just to show what kind of people these growers are, one anonomous grower donated $400 to be given away as $100 door prizes to entrants. And I thought that they were being generous just in the way they share seeds and information. My son Jacob won one of those door prizes, which was nice since his big pumpkin didn't survive for the weighoff. To whoever donated that money, I have a big THANK YOU!!
