Download rules and entry form.

The Brown Co. Fair and Southwest Landmark invite you to a new class at the Fair. You must be a Brown County resident to compete in a Giant Pumpkin Contest. Weight is the only factor to winning. Official Rules will be in the Fairbook and the prize money will be listed then. A special area will be set up just for these Pumpkins. It will not be part of the Floral Hall activities and the display will be near the new Danny Gray Activity Center.

Chances of growing 1000 pound or more pumpkins means you need to have them in the ground by May 15. Special seeds and a well drained area are more help. To get more information on this contest and help on growing contact: Donnie Sroufe at 937-392-1175. His E-Mail address is: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
