Raising the Sugar Consciousness Bar!

It was great to bring the Pumpkin Fest demo table back home to Marin to the fantastic San Rafael Civic Center Thursday Farmers Market November 21, 2013 at the scenic lagoon. Thanks to Market Manager Chris for the go ahead, people loved the display, engaged in conversations and met great new friends in the cause!

Thanks to Sunday Manager Nick - The Pumpkin Fest table will be up at the incredible San Rafael Civic Center Sunday Market on Sunday December 8 - it's one of the three biggest in the state - and before the holidays too! Come see us and tell your friends to if you are in the area to ring in a healthier, happier holiday season & New Year 2014!

The Fest 2013 Was Fantastic!

HI Pumpkin loving friends! 

Over 200,000 of us came out to celebrate the Great Pumpkin Fest in Half Moon Bay this past weekend. Isn't it amazing that 200,000 people come out to celebrate a vegetable? It is really amusing yet wonderful when you think about it. The grand weigh-off winning pumpkin was 1,900 something pounds, larger than last year's winner at 1,800 something pounds. This one featured above is a beautiful ceramic mosaic art piece that is over 1,000 pounds itself - and I'm flashing my new, first edition "Pumpkin Lovers Unite" organic t-shirt.  You too can be the first to spread pumpkin love!

The ambiance of enjoyment filled the air, people just LOVE the Festival, and were having great fun all around. The diversity was great, people of all ages, sizes, ethnicities, out enjoying all things pumpkin, strolling the street amusements, art and crafts, food and drink - Hallelujah for the harmonizing effect of pumpkin - it's true - "pumpkin lovers unite" from around the world. It's so great to see this many people just out enjoying the simple things of life.

People were pleasant, mellow, friendly - helping take cute pictures of each other clambering over pumpkins, being polite and helpful to each other - pumpkin really IS a mood optimizer! 

Have great pics and more to share asap - will import great pics to share with you - and will be expanding the Cafe Press store selections very soon too, and the first Pumpkin Gazette newsletter via email will be out by Halloween. Be sure to sign up and check back this weekend! xoxo Kimberly
