Giant Pumpkin Carving and Display
Calling All Growers
Operation Pumpkin's Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off is Friday, October 10th.
You do not want to miss out on this great event. Not only are we one of the BIGGEST GPC-sanctioned events but we are also voted the Best of Butler County's 2025 Best Annual Festival! The craziest part?! It's all free!
If you want to enter a pumpkin you have grown, bring it down! This year there will be no entry fee for growers!
All pumpkins not placed in the top 3 will be subject to carving as this is a highlight of the festival. (If the pumpkin's cavity is exposed or if the grower wants their seeds, it will be arranged for the grower to harvest with a carver!)
IMPORTANT NOTES & RULES:
- All pumpkins must remain on site until Sunday, October 12th. We will start releasing pumpkins to growers at 3pm on October 12th.
- Please have all your information for registration when you arrive with your pumpkin. Failure to fill out the provided paperwork to completion will result in your pumpkin not being weighed.
- Drop-off starts at 10 am on October 10th and the weigh-off will begin at 4 pm sharp. Pumpkins must be unloaded 30 min prior to the start of the event to participate.
- Pumpkins need to be to GPC standards and rules.
- All entered pumpkins need to be established pumpkins (blooms will not be weighed)
- All pumpkins will be judged to GPC site standards, site coordinator is the final judge.
