We had great weather, great crowd, great parade.

Growing conditions were poor this year with a long, cold, wet spring and a cool, wet, short summer however some growers did have success. The Pumpkinfest Committee and Pumpkin Grower's Association thank the Wellington Business Association and all of our sponsors.


Bring a friend and enjoy Pumpkinfest 2001!!
