Pumpkinfest draws huge crowd Auburn Community Hall was busting at the seams as parents and children gathered to attend the Auburn Horticulture Society's Pumpkinfest on Monday night, Oct. 27. Featured this year was the Haunted House. The squeals of the children assured the organizers that this was enjoyed by all who had the nerve to venture into it. Apple bobbing proved to be a wet activity that challenged the youngsters who tried it. Many children had the opportunity to try to eat an apple off a string. This proved to be more difficult than it looked. Over 60 pumpkins were carved by the children. The originality and skill of the carvers made judging of these entries very difficult. The baking entries once again proved that there are excellent bakers living in the area. Many homes in the area would have prize winning centrepieces gracing Hallowe'en tables as was evident by the quality of the entries in this category. Area businesses are once again to be thanked for their unfailing support. All the winners took home prizes that were donated by these businesses and/or individuals. The winners of the three door prizes were first, Gregory Roetcisoender, one year subscription to The Citizen', second, Adam Andrews, Huron County Calendar, donated by Van Massenhoven Construction; third, Gerry MacDonald, a plate donated by "Ceramics by Bess". The largest pumpkin weighed in at 187 lbs. and was grown by Jordan Rutledge. Katie Peesker grew the medium weight pumpkin at 129 lbs. The most unusual shaped pumpkin was grown by Erica Sturzenegger. Popcorn and juice were enjoyed throughout the evening. Auburn Horticulture Society, thanks all the volunteers who worked tirelessly to make this year's "Pumpkinfest" such a huge success.
