Lot 25. GVGO Cyber Auction Sale, Limited Edition Print "Great Beginnings".

Howard Dill Home, Limited Edition Print "Great Beginnings" 1 Only
Comissioned by Phil Hunt & The GVGO by artist Elly Wilson.
Signed by the Pumpkin King himself, Howard Dill.
The print is of the original Dill homestead in Windsor, N.S.

"Great Beginnings" is a signed & numbered print honouring Howard Dill for the work he put into creating this new strain of pumpkin seed called Atlantic Giant. From his work sprang a hobby that many thousands of growers now enjoy every year. We thought that this would be a great way to honour the man that many consider the God Father of Giant Pumpkins & also help raise some much-needed funds for our club's activities & weigh offs.
