The 2024 Harvest Daze Pumpkin Contest theme "TRICK OR TREAT PUMPKINS."  We received 113 entries from very creative artists! We split the categories with the entries falling into YOUTH 11 years and younger,  TEEN 1 - 12-14 years old, TEEN 2 -  15-17 years old,  ADULT-18 years and older, and Organization.

The Pick of the Patch included all pumpkins, with visitors voting to choose their overall winner.

The ICHS President chose the President's Award, which awards the pumpkin that best represented the theme.
​
Visitors also tried to Guess The Weight of the M&M Pumpkins.
