Spring is here and it’s time to start growing pumpkins for the 2013 Collector Village Pumpkin Festival competitions.
Over $2000 in prize money will be up for grabs on Sunday 5th May 2013 when the village of Collector hosts the 10th annual Pumpkin Festival.
To encourage participation, the organising committee gave away over 100 seedlings this Sunday morning at the Pancake Breakfast. The Pancake Breakfast is an annual event held at the Collector Memorial Hall on the last Sunday in October. It coincides with Halloween and for pumpkin growers is the equivalent of the starter’s gun at the beginning of a marathon. Growers will have the next six months to lovingly tend their vines and hopefully produce a bountiful harvest for the autumn festival.

Happy Harvest.
