Pumpkin Recipe Contest

Crazy for Pumpkin Food? Adults are invited to enter the Pumpkin Recipe Contest for a chance to win cash prizes! Fresh or canned pumpkin must be the key ingredient in your best sweet or savory recipe. The basis for judging will be flavor, texture, creativity, appearance, and the use of pumpkin. 

Thanks to 2023 prize sponsor Townsend Public Affairs.
