On
Sunday afternoon hundreds of people flocked to Gail's Pumpkin Patch
in rural Beason for a day of fresh air, sunshine, fun and games, not
to mention buying a pumpkin or two.
Among the big attractions at Gail's this past weekend was Illinois'
largest pumpkin, grown by Henry Bartimus Baitman of Clinton. Baitman
enjoyed answering questions about his pumpkin and had several
displays on hand to help folks understand the process of producing
such an enormous gourd. Perhaps most impressive was when he shared
that he could literally watch the pumpkin growing before his eyes.
It averaged gaining 50 pounds per day for an end weight of 1,673
pounds.
LDN will have more coverage from the weekend at Gail's in the
Tuesday edition.

The Saturday Breast Cancer Awareness and Education quiz question was
- You still need mammograms after menopause - true or false?
The answer is "true."
Getting older is not a reason to skip regular breast health checks.
Your risk of developing breast cancer goes up as you get older.
About two out of three invasive breast cancers are found in women
age 55 or older. To stay in good health you should continue getting
mammograms.
