New Bremen, Ohio

The New Bremen Pumpkinfest was started by pumpkin growers who wanted to put on a show for growers and their families. While we didn't give the highest prize $, we tried to give the growers a great event to participate in. While it started as a weigh-off, it has now grown into a 2 day festival. Giant pumpkins is in our DNA as a festival, but the lack of growers this year participating has caused us to cancel this year's weigh-off. We struggle with funds as much as any group and rely on our generous sponsors. Without them, we would not be functioning as a group and need to make sure we put on a great weigh-off to keep our sponsors happy. It's been a terrible growing year and hope everyone next year has a great season.

We apologize and hope next year brings better results.
