Mike’s Organic has announced a Guess The Pumpkin Weight Contest where one lucky winner will get $1,000 in groceries. Grown in Ridgefield, CT, this giant pumpkin has now found a home at Mike’s Organic. The contest kicks off a series of Pumpkin Fests which will take place every weekend in October.
Guests simply snap a photo of the pumpkin along with their favorite product from Mike’s Organic, post it on Instagram with their weight guess and tag Mike’s (@mikesorganic) for a chance to win.
The contest will end on October 31, 2023 at midnight. The winner will be announced November 1, 2023 and awarded $1,000 in groceries to the Greenwich store. Also on display at Mike’s for the fall season is a giant squash and a nine-foot-long gourd.
Mike Geller, owner of Mike’s Organic, said, “It’s the great pumpkin, Greenwich! Hosting fun community initiatives like this one is exactly what we envisioned when we first started building this store. We want to bring people together, support local growers and have some fun along the way!”
