A Statement & Invitation to All.....,

The committee named in charge of the Pumpkin Show, together with many others who give their time and effort to make this annual event an outstanding activity for the Village of Bradford and community, earnestly and sincerely solicit your help, support, and advice for this year's events. The greater number of people actively engaged in planning and directing this great annual show will add much to its improvement and success, as well as lighten the burden carried throughout the past by the present members of the sponsoring group. This is not a closed group; everyone interested in the community of Bradford is welcome and may be a part of the group who is constantly striving to build a bigger and better Bradford, through this annual Pumpkin Show

Display Building

We are happy to submit this Premium List and trust that you will find an exhibit that your labors have produced and that a satisfactory premium is offered.

Again this year, entries in the display building will be received on Monday evening as well as Tuesday morning (see time in the rules and regulations). This change has been made to accommodate the many people who were unable to bring their items to the display building during the morning hours.

Displays will be housed in the Display Building at the center of the midway.

The committee would like to thank the city officials for their cooperation. Any club or organization desiring space in the display building is asked to call Kelly Dunlevy,937- 448-2449.
