Good Gourd!

Buried in this story from the Williamsport Sun-Gazette about the 91st Pennsylvania Farm Show is a lucrative bit of trivia. Who knew that with a bit of agricultural knowhow and fine craftsmanship, these squat squash can bring in from $8 to $10,000 and $30,000 in cash? That’s at least according to a rep quoted in the story from the Pennsylvania Gourd Society. This photo of a crafted gourd is from the Society’s gallery and is credited as the work of Cookie Smith.
