Good Morning #Canada
Did you know that a Canadian was the first #Champion in the highly competitive sport of #Punpkin growing. William Warnock from Goderich Ontario grew the first competition-winning pumpkin for the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, weighing 166 kg. The biggest impact on this sport came from Howard Dill from Nova Scotia, who developed the seed stock that all recent world champions use, including the 1,247 kg record holder (2023).
