The Damariscotta Pumpkinfest & Regatta’s Giant Pumpkin Weigh Off competition begins at the Louis Doe Home Center on Seedling Sunday, May 19.
Between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. 750 plantings will be available for free adoption, care, and nurture.
A “celebrity” panel of professional giant pumpkin growers will be on hand to offer time tested formulas for raising formidable competitors. To ensure a perfect seedling sendoff, the Pumpkinfest Queen will be present to bless the tiny plants, and will be seated on her throne for fun, family photos.
Let this four-month competition begin on Sunday, May 19. This is a perfect family project, filled with education, fun, and wonder. These pumpkins can grow as much as 25 lbs. in one day. Join in the fun!
Louis Doe Home Center is located at 92 Mills Road in Newcastle.
