One of the goals of Team-Pumpkin is to educate people about what it takes to grow a giant pumpkin. At the fairs, to reduce repeat questions from visitors large (4ft x 8ft) custom outdoor grade vinyl signs with gourmets were created and have proven very effective and well received. The quality photos and short descriptions help people understand some of the main points of the growing season. Also, having the large images helps to show people some key aspects of the growing phases and this is something I would recommend any group invest in that has public interaction.
This entry shows one of the signs used along with some of the story behind the image that pumpkin growers may appreciate.
Specifics of This Sign Are…
A common quote restated by people viewing this sign is “pumpkins can grow over 1 pound every hour!” Now this is only 24 pounds a day but it helps provide better context for people regarding just how fast the pumpkins can grow. Also, having the same umbrella as the previous image helps give some idea of how big the pumpkin has gotten over the last month.
