2013 Pumpkins For a Cure — Saturday, Sept. 28 Schedule
The 2013 Pumpkins For A Cure Festival has something for everyone! Visitors will arrive at the Geneva Courthouse where they will be greeted by a cascade of bright, colorful mums and exotic pumpkins for sale. This year the Festival will feature jack-o-lanterns, but will feature specialty pumpkins such as Cinderella’s, Lunch Lady’s, Fairy Tales (Dark green pumpkins) and White pumpkins. You’ll be able to see all these unusual and new varieties on the Courthouse lawn. In the mum garden we have added a variety of fall plants to help complete your fall garden. We will feature our late blooming hearty mums, but we will have cabbages, kale and a few surprises.
