Did You See the 45 ft Great Pumpkin Drop?
Many Thanks to Wade Wilcox and Crew for handling the pumpkin and making the drop come true, Les Lyman for growing this gorgeous pumpkin, Rob Globus for everything and everyone who helped clean up! F&M Bank and manager, John Hospenthal for supporting our community an allowing Rotary to display this great pumpkin.
Contest is ON and ENDS HALLOWEEN at HIGH NOON
The Legend: Where is the Great Pumpkin grown? As Rotary legend goes, the Rotary Club of Walnut Grove is home to the largest record holding pumpkin grower in Calaveras County. Each year, secret growing seeds are hidden throughout Walnut Grove farms and tended over by members during its growing life. The goal is having the largest pumpkin for our guessing game. Then one evening, a fork lift magically appears and transports the annual Great Walnut Grove Pumpkin to F&M Bank where the community can guess its weight. Thank you for participating in this fun Halloween game. Thank you Grow West for the 2024 pumpkin.
