ITS BEEN SAID " IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO GROW A FAMILY "
MY TAKE ON THAT IS "IT TAKES A GIANT PUMPKIN TO GROW A CHILD"

MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE THAT FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS THANKS TO THE GENEROSITY OF OUR HOBBIES TOP GROWERS, IVE BEEN PUTTING TOGETHER SEED PROMO PACKAGES FROM EACH SEASONS TOP 20 OR SO GPC PUMPKINS.

I PLACE ONE SET OF DONOR SEEDS IN EACH PROMO SEED PACKAGE, SELL THEM AND USE THE RETURNS TO PURCHASE WINTER COATS,HATS,GLOVES,CHRISTMAS GIFTS,ETC, FOR NEEDY CHILDREN IN MY AREA OF RHODE ISLAND.

TO START THIS YEARS DRIVE ID LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE TWO VERY GOOD FRIENDS WHO HAVE DONATED FOR SEVERAL YEARS THE SALE PROCEEDS FROM THEIR PUMPKIN TO BE USED TOWARD MY OAF "COATS FOR KIDS" DRIVE.

I WOULD LIKE TO HONOR PAUL AND CHERYL FOR DRIVING OVER SIX HOURS TO WEIGH THEIR PUMPKIN AT THE WOODSTOCK FAIR THEN, AS THEY HAVE DONE IN PAST YEARS, LEAVE THE MONSTER FOR TEAM PUMPKIN TO SELL AND DONATE THE PROCEEDS TOWARD THIS YEARS DRIVE.

FOLKS, THIS IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT IN THIS HOBBY. CARING AND SHARING.MAKE SOMEONES LIFE A LITTLE BRIGHTER-EVEN IF FOR ONLY A DAY OR TWO.

THANK YOU AGAIN PAUL AND CHERYL, YOUR DONATION WILL BE PUT TO GOOD USE.

Ive always liked giant pumpkins cause they always put a smile on everyones face. When they also can help with a great charity that's twice the fun. Great job papster and fulks.
