the first Illinois Giant Pumpkin Growers Association
meeting was held yesterday and it was exciting to meet
and b.s. with people who are as addicted to this sport
as i am. i left the meeting with a sense of pride knowing
that this was the first step towards many good things
to come for AGs and giant vegetable growing in the state of
Illinois. my thanks goes out to george j for initiating
the meeting, providing the meeting place, and even going
out of his way to make sure i had some cold budweisers.
kudos to george and his wife. the meeting started at 3pm
and before you know it it was after 7. george's wife
thought it was funny to see and hear people so
passionate about anything as much as we were about
pumpkins. great conversations were flying back and forth and
it sounded more like my local tavern with 4 different
convos going at once, but somehow you were involved in each
one. we already have a great bunch of guys and everyone had good ideas and input to get the ball rolling.
with some hard work and a team effort, i see nothing
but great things to come. after the meeting, i went
to bobby's tap and talked with my buddy scotty who
is willing and excited about helping us put together
some ideas for the logo. he is 100% committed to helping
us put together, design, and print our newsletters too.
after the adreniline from the creative juices wore off a
bit, i sat down to some texas holdem and ended up winning a
little dough too, which is nice. what a fine day indeed.
