Everyone is welcome to join one or both of the first annual BigPumpkins.com 2003 growing contests! We are featuring a Pumpkin and a Squash contest with exciting prizes to the top seven finalists in each contest. The pumpkin Contest requires all contestants to grow an 840 Desrosiers (805 Pukos x Self)seed. It was chosen as the official contest seed by BigPumpkins.com members because of its expected potential to grow large pumpkins and as a tribute to Ken Desrosiers who is the father of BigPumpkins.com. If you do NOT have an 840 seed and would like to join the contest, please e-mail me (Mike Frantz) at walcottpumpkin@aol.com. The Squash contest was created to encourage growers to grow and to promote the growing of giant Squash. Growers are not limited to a spwcific seed in the Squash contest as in the Pumpkin contest. The trick is that to be eligible for prizes your Squash must be a "True" 100% green or blue specimen and you must declare ahead of time what seed(s) you are growing in the contest. For complete details on either contest please review the link posted under "Odds and Ends" found on the BigPumpkins.com home page or contact me for help. It is my hope that many growers will choose to participate in one or both of these contests and help to make these contests something to be remembered and hopefully a very successful and exciting annual event.
