Vendors, patrons make it happen
The 12th Dundee Township Visitor's Center Pumpkin Contest was held Saturday, Oct. 30. A 140-pound giant entered by Blake Brewer of East Dundee took top honors in the largest category. Sharyn Joseph from Gilberts claimed top prize for decorated pumpkin. Ten judges had the difficult task of placing the final winning order from those entered in the Decorated/Carved category. Once again “creativity proved to be alive and well” in the Fox Valley. Visit our website www.dundeedepot.com for complete contest information and photos.
A simple thank you hardly seems adequate to the many participating area businesses, who through their generous donations provided prizes to all our winners. This year's total package of $1,200 for the day, again guaranteed greater prize values for our six finalists.
As contest and farmer's market coordinator, I encourage area residents to please support our dedicated sponsors. Their success makes our success possible.
The entire visitor's center board of directors thanks both vendors and customers alike for making the farmers market a success.
