Port Elgin PumpkinFest

Amid the crisp autumn air and vibrant hues of red and gold, Port Elgin comes alive with the beloved tradition of Pumpkinfest – a celebration cherished by both locals and visitors.

As a proud local telecommunications provider, Bruce Telecom is delighted to play a vital role as a media sponsor, bringing the magic of Pumpkinfest to life. More than just offering WIFI, this sponsorship reflects Bruce Telecom’s commitment to fostering community connection and enhancing the festival experience. Whether attending in person or tuning in from afar, everyone can share in the excitement of this remarkable event.

Pumpkinfest, renowned for its giant pumpkins and a variety of family-friendly activities, embodies the spirit of creativity and community values. This year’s event featured a particularly memorable highlight: while the elusive 2,000-pound barrier wasn’t broken, grower Jeff Warner had plenty to celebrate. His colossal 1,966.5-lb. gourd not only set a new site record at the 39th annual event but also surpassed his personal best by over 150 lbs. After three runner-up finishes, Warner finally claimed victory in the big Saturday weigh-off, making his triumph all the sweeter.

Through its media sponsorship, Bruce Telecom highlights the incredible dedication of organizers, volunteers, and participants who make Pumpkinfest an annual highlight on the community calendar.

This partnership between Bruce Telecom and Pumpkinfest represents more than collaboration; it’s a shared mission to support local businesses, encourage community growth, and create an inclusive space for all to enjoy the season’s joy.
