This enormous pumpkin which was donated by Mrs Lola Fry of Ceres to the Aberdeen Primary School was grown in her own garden. Considering the size of the pumpkin this is quite an achievement for being home grown.
Mrs Fry, who is the sister of Mr Minnaar - Principal of Aberdeen Primary, is aware of the fund raising activities of the school to supplement school funds. Fund raising is an ongoing activity, as the necessary finance received for the running of the school does not sufficiently cover all the school expenses.

Seven year old Mckayla Beyers of Heigenheim in Lotusville, a Grade 2 pupil in Mrs Magda Smit’s class, won the pumpkin. Mckayla said she would be giving parts of the pumpkin to her mother Jadre Beyers, to her grandmother Rose Beyers, and to other relations.
Mr Minnaar said that R1 500.00 had been raised to supplement school funds, and he was extremely thankful to those who participated in the raffle.
