Powell River Pumpkin Fest Winner “More Brains”

more-brains

Powell River Brain Injury Society had 3 entries in the Powell River Annual Pumpkin Fest and they all made it to the finals. Winning pumpkin named “More Brains” was created here by Ajay and Melissa and featured a smaller pumpkin ‘brain’ inside. This was at the Town Centre Mall and hosted by Bill Hopkin & the Town Centre Mall. The winners received a $30 gift certificate which will be put to good use for restocking our craft supplies.

Thank you Dave Irwin Foundation
