Pumpkin Contest

A pumpkin contest will be held at Koushiobaru Park (Jinmu no Yakata)!

What is the Pumpkin Contest??
This year marks the 18th Pumpkin Contest!
For those who remember, it used to take place around the same time as the Higanbana Festival!

Around June, the Takaharu Town Chamber of Commerce and Industry distributes seedlings (four varieties) to people who will grow them!
In September, pumpkins are delivered for inspection and judging (about 800 each year).
From Sunday, September 22 to Monday, September 23 (a national holiday), a display and sale will be held at Koushiobaru Park!
