Courtyard by Marriott Costa Mesa South Coast Metro for

The 2009 Pumpkinmania! Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off & Contest!

Good morning, Pumpkinistas!

I have good news for those growers, their families, other relatives, friends, neighbors, other loyal supporters and attendees that may be driving in for the weigh-off from out of the Southern California region. I've negotiated a Pumpkinmania!, $89.00 per night, group discount with the local Courtyard by Marriott, for Saturday, October 24th and Sunday October 25th. It's a quick, 1.4 mile, 4-minute drive to the Heritage Museum of Orange County from the hotel.

Have a great morning!
