Monumental sculptures by James McMahon of Howard Dill and a giant pumpkin were unveiled on October 10th, 2004, during the annual giant pumpkin regatta in Windsor, NS. Howard Dill is a pioneer in the development of giant pumpkins and has brought a lot of national and international attention to the Windsor area, and the town has chosen to honour him in this way, to his great delight. Working from a number of photos of Mr. Dill, James has achieved a timeless likeness of the man.

The small photo with kids (ages 10 and 4!) gives an idea of the scale of the sculptures.
