What We Do
Growing Giant Vegetables is a hobby well rooted in Europe -- especially Great Briton. The United States/Canada has traditionally focused on Giant Pumpkins. However, there has been growing interest in recognizing other giant vegetables that people grow in their gardens. The SunStroke Giant Vegetable Weigh-Off is an annual competition between growers -- primarily in Arizona. There are multiple growing seasons in Arizona because it includes desert communities and mountain communities that have very different climates. The event allows everyone to participate without regard to a particular set date. It is an event open to all growers throughout the year. We judge giant pumpkins, giant squash, watermelons, tomatoes, peppers, rutabagas, carrots, beets ... if you can grow it, then we will weigh and measure it.
Our Ideas & Additional Information
I want to include the sun -- preferably a version of the southwest Native American sun -- in the logo. The 2020 version was quick design to use for last years event. I want to have something that can be used for a number of years as the events identity. It will appear on websites, literature, and tshirts. Simple is better than too complicated.
