Battersea Pumpkin Festival volunteers would like to thank all of the people who braved a real soaker of day last Saturday (October 2) to come out to the Battersea Ball Diamond for the festival.
Luckily, the festival has enough tricks up its sleeve to provide some additional weather resistant activities. Not only is the best dressed pumpkin contest open until October 12, but the pumpkin festival kit, filled with activities for home-based fun, is still available at Batterseapumpkinfestival.com. The site also has the necessary information about the best dressed pumpkin contest.
The winner of the Guess the Weight Contest (see Bruce Downey with his giant pumpkin - right) was Sam, who came up with the exact weight of 503 pounds and won a $100 prise from Ormsbees Mercantile.
The House Decorating Contest winners were 5112A Battersea Road. They won a $100 gift certificate from Creekside Bar and Grill.
The ever optimistic and future oriented pumpkin festival website has already installed a clock, which is counting down to the 2022 festival. As of noon on Thursday, it was at 358 days, 22 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds. Check back regularly as it updates every second of every day.
