Media Advisory - Hundreds of free pumpkins at The Royal Pumpkin Pile-Up

Hosted by The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair

TORONTO , Oct. 23 /CNW/ - On Sunday, October 25th , The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair will be giving away hundreds of free pumpkins to help families get ready for Halloween at The Royal Pumpkin Pile-Up.

Soggy and cool weather conditions have put a damper on some pumpkin patches, making the ghoulish gourds harder to come by - luckily, The Royal Pumpkin Pile-Up will be fully stocked with over 500 pumpkins, safe carving tools and a child-friendly area to carve in.

With The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair just around the corner - taking place November 6 to 15 at the CNE Grounds - it's never too soon to celebrate agriculture! And what better way to introduce the city to the country than with a pumpkin giveaway.

Guests who come out to The Royal Pumpkin Pile-Up will also have a chance to win tickets to The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair .

The largest of its kind in the world, The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair is an experiential event that takes place in Toronto every November at Exhibition Place. Now in its 87th year, The Royal offers urban adults and children alike a chance to see, smell, hear and taste authentic country life.
