The float won first prize in the Lions Club’s Labor Day parade in Pickerington and the Lions who judged the competition told Sam that his entry was "the best they ever had". Sam said he hoped the float would bring extra customers to his pumpkin patch located near Central High School on HIll Road. Pumpkins will be available starting Sept. 23.
