About this Event

With years of experience and success in the pumpkin-growing world under his (championship) belt, can one grower take his magic to the next level, and his pumpkin to the next ton?

Join us for a festive fall premiere of the long-awaited feature-length documentary following veteran giant pumpkin grower -- and master pumpkin carver -- Joe Adkins, on his quest to cultivate his first two-thousand-pound pumpkin.

Fetch your popcorn and snacks, then sit back and relax, as Joe takes you along the ride for an entire pumpkin-growing season, from seed to sow, to the fated weigh-off and beyond.

  • Merchandise will be available for sale at the door.
  • Raffle for a Joe Adkins carved pumpkin.
  • Open seating.
  • Wheelchair accessible.

Hype yourself up before the screening with the official trailer for Joe and the Giant Pumpkin.
