Did you know you could win $1,000 by growing the winning pumpkin in this year's "Giant Pumpkin Contest"? Here's how to get started.

The video above is from last year's champion. You can get seeds from this very pumpkin right now at Black Carriage Furniture on Highway 6 & 50, just down the hill from 1st Street.

We are rapidly approaching the deadline if you want to start growing a pumpkin to compete in this year's challenge. Fortunately, Mother Nature is on our side with record rainfalls for April, and a real good start to May. Take advantage of the free seeds and free rainfall, and get growing.

This Fall, Black Carriage Furniture will host their next annual pumpkin contest. The overall winner receives $1,000.00. There will be prizes for runners up as well.
