Greetings Growers,

The Phillipston Agricultural Commission is inviting all giant pumpkin, squash, and long gourd growers to our Annual Fall Harvest Fair & Giant Pumpkin Contest on Sunday, October 11, 2026, on the Phillipston Town Common (Phillipston, MA).

If you have a secondary fruit on the vine, a late-maturing giant, or an exhibition fruit looking for a scale on Columbus Day weekend, we’d love to host you!

LOGISTICS & EQUIPMENT:
• Rigging: Heavy-duty lifting sling and tractor loader on-site for safe offloading and reloading.
• Scales: Certified scales ready for competitive and exhibition entries.
• Schedule: Staging & grower drop-off by 11:30. Weigh-in begins at 1 pm.
• Location: Easy trailer access and pull-in parking right off Route 2 / Route 2A in Central MA.
• Entry: Free grower registration. Ribbons, prizes, and great community crowds!

If you plan to bring fruit or have questions on staging, drop a reply below, or feel free to call/text me directly at (978) 314-9853 (email: [email protected]).

Hope to see some heavy fruit on the scales on October 11!

Bob Branchaud
