New Bremen, Ohio

New Bremen Pumpkinfest is coming quickly. If you got one on the vine and worried about it not making to October, weigh it now in New Bremen, Ohio.

Unloading is between 7:00 ~ 1:30.

Weigh-off starts at 2:00.

We give out prize $ to the top 20 places. (Please see www.growgiants.com for details)

* We have decided to give an extra $200 to help out on gas expense who brings a 1,000+ pumpkin or squash to our event.

* Bring two pumpkins and have the 2nd one weighed at Hilger's Friendly Market the next day in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Top 3 combined weights at New Bremen and Hilger's will recieve an additional $300 for 1st, $200 for 2nd, & $100 for 3rd. Come and enjoy both weigh-offs.

Also we will be the first to have pumpkin go-cart racing. We will be running teams of 6 changing tires before launching the cart down the hill. Brackets will be set, so should be a great evening of entertainment.

Yep sounds like a great day! I have been to Fort Wayne and visited a freind who worked for Air wisconson, he lived in a log cabin he built himself, annoyingly I can't remember his name!
