Next weekend's 2012 Mere Brow Giant Pumpkin competition marks the 18th year of one of the quirkiest competitions in west Lancashire.
And as always, it'll be another fantastic day, raising as much money as possible for charity.
The weigh in will be held at 1pm on Saturday 20 October at the Windmill Animal Farm Fish Lane, Burscough, with two separate competitions:
*The NFU MUTUAL INSURANCE ALL ENGLAND SHIELD - a competition open to anybody. 1st Prize £50
*The MERE BROW & DISTRICT SHIELD - open to local residents within a 10 mile radius of Mere Brow. 1st Prize £50 ~ 2nd Prize £30 ~ 3rd Prize £20
Entries in the Mere Brow & District Shield are also included in the NFU Mutual Insurance All England Shield.
Legendary DJ Dave Turley - 'Mr Giant Pumpkin' himself - will be MC and there are a great variety of pumpkin related games, donkey rides, beat the buzzer, etc. with food and soft drinks available.
All are welcome, says organiser Trevor Wilson, who added: "The Mere Brow Giant Pumpkin Competition is a unique family day out in the countryside.
"The venue for the 18th competition is the excellent Windmill Animal Farm, which adds to the 'family feel' the event creates.
"We attract competitors and spectators from all over the North West and we expect this year to be no exception.
