The first Cynghordy Show Children’s Giant Pumpkin Competition was held on Saturday 28th October in Capel Cynfab School, Cynghordy. There were six entries across the three age categories and pumpkins ranged in weight from 7lb to a whopping 55lb!

Cups and certificates were awarded to the top three pumpkin growers in each age group, along with books to encourage the children to take an interest in gardening and growing their own vegetables. The event was a great success and everyone was looking forward to growing even bigger pumpkins next year!
