The Flower Bin – Giant Pumpkin Contest 2013
Oct 16th
We attend the Flower Bins’ Annual Giant Pumpkin Contest and talk with Don Weakland to learn a little about the rules and contestants that grow these giant pumpkins. Some of the pumpkins reach almost 1000 pounds and there’s also special awards for children growers, largest watermelon and longest gourds, all to highlight the exciting fall and Halloween season here at the Flower Bin in Longmont.
