I was contacted by this guy about selling and displaying pumpkins:

Thank you so much for talking to me yesterday. Yes, I am very interested in finding a farmer interested in setting “shop” on our ground this year.
We are in Naperville, IL http://www.naperville.il.us/ one of the major Illinois suburb outside of Chicago.
Our hotel is located on a 32 Acre campus and we are close to 2 major streets, Route 59 and I88 which have major traffic. Here is a link to the campus http://www.citygatecentre.com/ if you click on “map” you will see the exact location.
Our idea would be to set up a fall pumpkin lot close to the road, very visible and be one of the anchor the beginning of our holiday festivities. We would not charge to use the space, we would just ask the grower be here on site with us for a few dates we can agree upon in advance or even better, for them to set up for a few weeks if interested.
We were also interested in possibly having one or two of the large pumpkin on display for people to take pictures with. One more idea was to organize a pumpkin carving contest and have a night display on the lawn of all the pumpkins carved and lit.

If you could send something to all your pumpkin farmers contact maybe one of two might be interested. If not, could you direct me to an association or group that would be able to spread the word around?

Let me know what other information you may need but please send this to your members to see if any of them might be interested in the space.

Thank you very much.
