Pumpkins, Squash & Gourds

Gourd to State Fair

18 years ago

Just thought I would share that my 10 year old daughter decorated a gourd and won a grand champion ribbon at our county fair, so now it will be on to the Iowa state fair.

It is a cowgirl made out of a swan gourd on long legs with a heart base, real cute.

Sundae, that sounds so cute and I know you are as proud as punch, right! I would love to see a picture of it. If you can, try to post one.
