Hi all,
I just wanted to let everyone know that the I.G.P.G.A,
the Illinois Giant Pumpkin Growers'Association, is offering
a free black and white copy of the 2005 Spring Editon
of "The Illinois Garden Giant Gazette" to anyone who wants
one. All you have to do is e-mail our club president,
George Janowiak at [email protected] with the e-mail
title reading FREE COPY.

We are a newly formed club that would like to put the word
out that we may be small and in the developmental stage,
but we intend to produce a quality publication
that is entertaining and informative. To receive 3
colored copy editions, a SPRING EDITION, a MID-SEASON
EDITION, and a POST-HARVEST EDITION, you can join our
Seed Membership Plan for $15. Besides the newsletters,
you will receive free quality seeds in the winter of 2006,
and you will have access to our members section on
the I.G.P.G.A. website, that will include archived editions
of all future newletters.

We are also offering a family membership for $25 for
Illinois residents or nearby growers from other states
that will also include free entry for 2 vegetables
at our I.G.P.G.A. weigh off and voting privelages in the
club. This weigh-off will be held the first Saturday
in October at Didier Farms.

How to join information is located on our website at
www.igpga.org

continued.


The free black and white copy of the 2005 Spring Edition
will be mailed out the first week of May, so contact
George Janowiak at his above mentioned e-mail address
if you would like to receive one.

Also, if you wish to donate seeds from previous years
pumpkins or this upcoming seasons pumpkins, again contact
George at [email protected] and they will be sent out
to our members this winter. We are hoping to obtain
donated seeds from as many growers, both heavy hitters
and newbies, as possible. With more distribution, maybe
your seeds will see more dirt.

Hope you enjoy your free copy of the first edition of
"The Illinois Garden Giant Gazette" also know as
the "GGG".

Good luck in 2005 and we hope to hear from all of you
in the future.

Sincerely,
Jeff Shenoha aka Shazzy

To all that responded, I will send you a papar copy when they are done printing them. Sometime in May,I hope. We will have a feature article with Joe Richards and how he grew his 1139. I have a intro. article and a article on how I beat gummy stem blight last year. A lot more too! It will make for some good reading
