Windsor-West Hants Pumpkin Festival is pleased to support the Children’s Wish Foundation’s Paade of Pumpkin Paddlers.

These pumpkins are real. Norm and I just returned from Nova Scotia with the IFWTWA media trip and some of us saw these first hand at Dill’s Atlantic Giant. They developed this pumpkin seed and you can order them online. This photo on the right shows a pumpkin carved out and getting ready for the Regatta.

We saw pumpkins over 600 pounds being carved out for the Pumpkin Regatta. What fun it must be.

This shows Joe Hilbers, Linda Kissam, Maralyn Hill and Norm Hill at Howard Dill’s Pumpkin Farm. We are behind a 657 pound pumpkin.

Nova Scotia has so many festivals, there is something going on all the time. However, this one pulls the strings of my heart.
