We'd like to thanks all the volunteers; Art and Geraldine, Ken, Glenn and Andrea, Jake, and Troy for all their hard work today. We had a fantastic turnout with 29 Giant pumpkins. We had a beautiful sunny day and literally thousands of happy people come to the pumpkin festival for hayrides, the farmers market and viewing the giant pumpkins. A special thank you to the mainlanders for their journey over to Nanaimo and a special thanks to Glenn Dixon for being a great MC, thanks again. See you next year.!!!

The biggest THANK YOU has to go to Dave and Leslie. They are the driving force behind this weigh-off. It is the only weigh-off in BC and is starting to draw more growers from farther afield. A great day, great weather and a super weigh-off.
