Subject: Pumpkins Needed

Pumpkins on Bynum’s Pedestrian Bridge Halloween Eve.
Soon it will be time for the pumpkins to be bought so that Jan Berger and crew can do their magic carving and then set the pumpkins on the Bynum bridge for all to come and admire over the waters of the Haw. Jan would like to ask….if anyone knows where pumpkins can be purchased for $3 or less, please call him.  This is a volunteer Chatham community event.  He’s hoping to purchase around 60+ pumpkins for a low low cost.
