Growers-

The St. Croix Grower's Association is pleased to make public the prize structure for Stillwater Harvestfest on Sat., Oct 10 in Stillwater, MN.

It is no secret that our stated mission is to become the #1 weigh off in the world. By some measures, many already agree that it is. However, the #1 top ten average milestone has eluded us. After last year's #2 position in the TTA, our group is hungry as ever to achieve this milestone.

This year's beefed up prize structure is designed to entice growers to bring their largest fruit to our scale and be generously rewarded for that decision.

The SCGA humbly asks you to consider being a part of our pumpkin history by helping us achieve our goal of #1 TTA. Further, 2015 marks the ten year anniversary of the creation of the SCGA and Stillwater Harvestfest. How sweet it would be to capture the #1 spot on our 10 celebration, and know that your pumpkin was instrumental in helping us get there!

Our group has grown from a small handful of pumpkin geeks weighing a couple of pumpkins on the backside of a greenhouse to a robust community of world class growers who compete on the riverbank of a national scenic waterway in front of a crowd of 1000's of spectators.

This year's event is sure to be our biggest yet. If you have not attended Harvestfest, we invite you to come and partake in what we believe is the world's greatest weighoff.
