Hall of Fame
The goal of the GVGO Hall of Fame is to recognize the significant contributions to the sport of extreme gardening by honoring those growers who have stepped up to help this hobby grow & to acknowledge those growers for their accomplishments, their contributions and their impact on the sport of Growing Giant Pumpkins.
As we approach the holiday season it's time to ask our membership to think about nominating a long time GVGO member to be inducted into the Hall of Fame! If you know a grower worthy of this prestigious award, please let us know who you would like to nominate and the main reasons why.
You can reach out to any GVGO executive member with your nomination(s) and we'll vote to induct a maximum of two members in mid January so please have your nominations in before Jan. 10, 2026. The executive committee will vote and induct a maximum of two nominees at the GVGO spring seminar in March 2026.
