Shout-out to Gloria's Golden Goodies for stopping by with her daughter to grab a pumpkin growing kit and leaving behind some goodies for me (that only lasted ten seconds)! 😋🤣 Thank you!!

She’s a fellow vendor at the Alice Farmers Market, where the top 5 heaviest pumpkins entered into the Sugar Pie Grow-Off will win Market Cash to spend at any booth! Top prize is $50!

Do you know how many cookies you can buy for $50?! 😂

COME GET YOUR FREE GROW KIT! You won’t regret it! 😁👍
