Im please to announce the formation of our new club, the Giant Vegetable
Growers of Ontario (GVGO). A dedicated group of growers from Ontario met at
the International Seminar in Niagara on March 12th and decided it was time
to pool our knowledge and experience together to form this new association.
Notables in attendance were Al & Sharon Eaton, Drew Papez, Dave McCallum,
Adrien Gervais, Russ Landry, Glenn Cheam, Chris & John Lyons, and myself
(Phil Hunt), along with a few other great growers. I was honored to be
elected chair of this elite group and have a great group of growers as
Representatives for their specific regions. Id like to invite all growers
to help us promote this great sport/hobby, by sharing our knowledge and
experience to all who want to learn and by sharing the camaraderie that
growers enjoy by being a part of this sport/hobby. If you are interested in
joining us please send us an email at gvgo@sympatico.ca
Benefits include:
1. Yearly seed giveaway- at least 5 + seeds per member
2. 3 Newsletters per year
3. Patch Tours (free admittance)
4. Yearly growers seminar and seed swap
5. Club website (we are working on it and hope to be up & running soon)
6. Club Championship trophy for biggest pumpkin grown in Ontario by a

giant vegetables.
7. Growers help line for those growers without the Internet.
8. Expanded weigh off schedule. More weigh offs dates.
Memberships are $20 per member & $35 for family memberships.
We hope that you will join us to help make the GVGO one of the best and most
respected growers associations in the giant vegetable community.
