The Great Kaitoke Pumpkin Harvest will be celebrated in Upper Hutt on the 28 of February in 2010.

Giant pumpkins will be judged for size and weight.  Prizes will also be given for the tastiest homegrown pumpkin, the yummiest homemade pumpkin pie, the best carved pumpkin, for the longest distance a pumpkin can be thrown and, of course, a pumpkin pie eating competition.

The event will be fun for the whole family with many more family-oriented activities such as gumboot throwing and cow pat bingo.

All proceeds (and leftover pumpkins!!) will be going to the HUHA animal sanctuary to further enrich the lives of animals such as New Zealands famous ex factory famed pig "Piggy Sue", Laurie the Ex Circus Monkey and friends.

Special Giant Pumpkin Seeds will be available for sale from Woolworths UH, Kaitoke Country Gardens and online at www.huha.org.nz from Monday 2nd of November.
