There's a farming community north of where I live that I love to visit. It's a refreshing change from the hustle and bustle of everyday city life. Anyways, there's one stop in particular that I like to make, that being at an antique store just off of Main Street. Well, I was there a couple weeks ago, and happened to notice a photograph propped up behind some brick-a-brack, somewhat out of place. I don't know what drew me to the photo, but I picked it up and barely managed to contain my exuberance when I understood what I was looking at.

I present to you, ladies and gentlemen, photographic evidence of giant pumpkins (presumably of the Mammoth variety) being grown in British Columbia's interior.

The photo bore no accompanying notes or captions, but a little investigative work proved fruitful. I'll include a picture of what I found in my research in a follow-up entry, along with an explanation of how I figured it out.

The photo was not an original, but the quality was quite decent. Nevertheless, it was in plastic wrapping and thus the photo I took has a bit of glare, for which I apologize.
