Regatta awards are in! Inaugural WVU Giant Pumpkin Regatta, October 21, 2017! The Horticulture club, captained by myself, will take on the WVU Men's Rowing Club in a battle for epic bragging rights. Wife Kirsha will be heading the Law School team, and we're continuing to support North Elementary's gardening program by having a fundraiser to "Put Your Teacher in a Pumpkin". Yes, you heard right! These elementary kids will raise money for the program and the top 4 earning classes will see their teacher climb inside one of my pumpkins, no ifs, ands, or buts about it! Bringing community together through gardening, what more could you ask for? We will be doing 4 person teams in a relay race since I am growing all of the pumpkins this year. I hope to have 5 teams total. If all pumpkins make it, we will add an "All Forces" team consisting of one student each from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. Talk about stacking the deck against myself!
