Glad to have you Back glad to be Back. Margo Goodhand editor Margo Goodhand were glad to be Back g Iven the economic chaos political upheaval and labour unrest gripping the world lately i imagine a great Many of you Are chomping at the bit to hear How i made out in the big celebrity pumpkin carving contest. It is difficult even for a hardened journalist such As myself to convey the adrenalin Rush that goes with competing in a major Gourd related event of this nature but i will try it was very very exciting. It was held tuesday at Kildonan place shopping Centre to raise awareness and funds for the annual trick or treat Campaign for uni Cefus Prairie Region and it marked one of the few times Ive been Able to wander around a local mall wielding a Large Kitchen knife without being gang tackled by Security guards. So that was Nice. I was reasonably confident i would fare Well in the Competition because and i do not wish to sound boastful Here i come from a family with a glorious history in the High pressure world of pumpkin carving in the sense that every halloween when i was growing up my Mother churned out elaborate Jack of lanterns that would make Michelangelo is sistine Chapel look like a kindergarten Art project. I personally did not inherit the pumpkin carving Gene. I say this despite the fact i am the proud owner of a High tech Battery powered electronic pumpkin Carver a device that resembles a Small electric knife and allows artistically challenged people such As myself in Mere seconds to transform a Standard sized pumpkin into something that vaguely resembles a puddle of pie filling. But that is not the Point. The Point is i was delighted to take part in this first Ever contest in support of Unicof because a As an outstanding local celebrity i believe in giving Back to the Community and b they promised to feed us. After lunch a Gaggle of knife wielding Media personalities attacked their pumpkins in the malls Centre court As hundreds of curious shoppers looked on their faces radiating the kind of Hope that Only comes from knowing that at any moment they might be Able to witness a prominent to weather person accidentally chopping off an important appendage. And speaking of prominent to weather persons you Are going to be insanely jealous when i Tell you that my pumpkin and i were situated directly Between a tvs Sylvia Kuzyk arguably Winnipeg Gas most recognized to personality and cd cos John Sauder who is also a licensed Pilot and an extremely pleasant person. Every few minutes As we slaved away on our pumpkins excited shoppers would wander Over to Sylvia and John and express often quite emotionally How excited they were to meet them and How they look even More attractive in person than they do on to. Of you Are Sootoo gorgeous one starstruck female shopper gushed As she watched Sylvia calmly turning her pumpkin into a stylish looking woman with a red Beret multicoloured Scarf and Bright red lipstick. Then glancing towards John the shopper cooed and hers Sootoo Good looking not that i am jealous about this. I fielded More than my share of Heartfelt compliments. I was especially moved by the kind words of a woman who As she watched Gallons of sweat pouring from my forehead was moved to remark you re not As fat As i thought Yourd be. So Ive got that going for me. Anyway i am pretty sure i would have won the Competition if i had not made a tiny strategic mistake namely creating a revolting Jack o lantern known As the puking pumpkin. My pumpkin features a pained expression and appears to be in the act of being violently ill via the Clever artistic technique of having Gallons of gooey pumpkin guts spewing from its Mouth. In an Effort to make my pumpkin As disgusting As possible i was forced to casually sneak up behind All the other celebrities Root through their garbage bins and steal handfuls of their Slimy pumpkin innards. This is How desperately i wanted to win. Yours is definitely the Best vomiting pumpkin fellow competitor Dave Angus president of the Winnipeg chamber of Commerce conceded. I need to acknowledge Here that John Sauder offered the helpful suggestion that my pumpkin would be even More nauseating if i carved a chunk of pumpkin innards into something resembling a Tongue. So i did. Despite this herculean Effort i was an abysmal failure. The judges bestowed the honour of pumpkin King on legendary Winnipeg childrens entertainer Fred Penner who aided by son Damien created a Dracula style pumpkin Complete with Faux blood dripping from its Mouth. I asked Fred whether his Victory constituted the highlight of his entire life. Absolutely is what he told me. Its downhill from Here. But this would not have happened without my son. He added the obscene elements. You could sense his son was deeply moved by this tribute. Thanks dad Damien replied. I feel the same Way about you. Anyway you can buy one of our pumpkins at the mall for a measly $ 10. The Money goes to help Unicof support schools in Rwanda and Malawi. So please buy my pumpkin. It was made with a lot of love. And a lot of guts too. Mostly that second thing. Doug. Speirs free press. My.
