Hi all,

I am looking for donations of giant pumpkin seed to hand out to kids at the 2021 Westhampton Fall Festival, so we can encourage them to participate in a giant pumpkin growing contest which will be held the following year. I am not looking for any special seed, just something that has the potential to grow contest worthy pumpkins. The seed will be given out for free. The Fall Festival is great family friendly event that takes place in October. Last year we were not able to run the event due to COVID. Thankfully, this year it is going to run!

For those that would like to know a little more, here is a link to some coverage of the event:

I am the coordinator for a community group called Grown in Westhampton. We provide free educational programing to the public. We will be running the kids pumpkin growing contest for 2022. You can find out more about Grown in Westhampton by visiting our Facebook page:

Regarding donations of seed, I am happy to cover the cost of shipping. We would like to get kids excited about growing, so any advice on running a pumpkin contest for kids would be much appreciated. You can reach me at growninwesthampton@gmail.com

Thanks.
