The Great Zucchini Contest

Many HPC shoppers have signed up for the Great Zucchini Contest and have picked up their seeds. There are three categories of participants: Zucchini Maestro, Squash Novice, and Cucurbit Kids. If you are reading this in June, it's not too late to sign up. Pick up your seeds at the co-op.

Judging and prizes: You may bring your zucchini to the co-op for weighing any time between July 28 and August 4. Winners will be announced at the end of the weigh-in period. All entrants will be provided with a photo of you and your zucchini to show off to your friends. Prizes for each category are gift certificates to Hampden Park Co-op.

The Giant Zucchini Contest is co-sponsored by Wisconsin Growers, the Aamot family of Turtle Creek Farm, and Hampden Park Co-op.
