More giant pumpkin

Why are we growing a pumpkin in the newspaper parking lot? 'Cause we can.

Actually, it's because our pressman is really into giant pumpkins. He competes in pumpkin growing contests around the Bay Area. A couple of weeks ago he brought in free giant pumpkin seeds and we gave them away to the public. More than 100 Register readers are now growing their own giant pumpkins. This is what community newspapers are all about -- connecting with our readers in a unique way.
