Hi folks- Im pround to announce the launching of the Central Wisconsin Pumpkin Growers website. While it is still quite basic at the moment, in the near future it will grow to contain many photos, articles, and information about our club.

www.cwpg.org

The CWPG also asks you to consider participating in our 1st ever seed raffle. A small donation earns you up to 5 chances to score 5 different seeds. We have over 100 great seeds slated to be given away in this event. Complete prize list and contest rules can be found at the new site, click on "raffle". Due to the large amount of seeds being given away, everyone who enters is sure to walk away a winner.

More Info on the seed raffle:

This is how the draiwing will work. Seeds on the seed list will be put in film canisters (with a note of what seed is in there). This will eliminate us from knowing what seed is being drawn. A canister will be drawn and then a ticket. All seeds and tickets will be drawn at random. That eliminates the bias of which seeds are better than others ( As said by: Tom Beachy). If there is not enough entries to cover the 200-300 seeds, the remaining seeds will be drawn the same way. All tickets will be put back into the container and re-drawn for those remaining seeds. The raffle is to be held on Saturday, March 8th, 2003 with certain members of the CWPG present to witness this event. Members present will be Tim Johnson (President of CWPG), Ginny Johnson, Clarence Koch (seed raffle coordinator), and Casey Neuville (promotions and raffle coordinator).

Thanks to all.

If there are any questions out there, Please email me.
