CONTEST PARTICIPANTS SOUGHT FOR Heritage Days
Osborne is seeking entries for a variety of contests during this year’s Annual Osborne Heritage Days celebration. So come out to show your skill, creativity, and spirit. Heritage Days will be held on Saturday and Sunday, October 11th and 12th, from 10:00a.m. until 4:00p.m. each day. Events are held in the Pioneer Village of the Osborne Center, located 5 miles south of Elkader on Highway 13.
KADR-KCTN Pumpkin Contests
KADR-KCTN Radio, Elkader, will be sponsoring two pumpkin contests and the Iowa Championship Buffalo Chip Throw on Sunday, October 13th at Heritage Days. The “Carved or Decorated Pumpkin Contest” includes cash prizes for first through third places in two age divisions: 12 years and under, and 13 years and over. The “Great Pumpkin Contest” is a search for the largest pumpkin grown in the area. They are judged by the total weight plus the circumference. This contest is divided into two age divisions as well, and cash prizes will be awarded in each division. A new record for the largest pumpkin at Heritage Days was set last year by John Frieden with a pumpkin weighing 1,348 pounds! All entries should be brought to Osborne Park on Sunday between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Judging will take place at 1:00 p.m. and the winners will be announced by 2:00 p.m.
The 25th Annual Iowa Championship Buffalo Chip Throw
The Buffalo Chip Throw will begin at 3 p.m. Sunday. Trophies will be given for 1st place in 4 divisions: Men’s, Women’s, Boy’s, and Girl’s furthest throw.

That’s a fun event Heritage Days Contests always bring out community spirit, creativity, and friendly competition. And if someone wants to show up looking both bold and comfortable, the Abercrombie Quilted Camo Hoodie is a great pick cool pattern, cozy feel, and good for blending in while still standing out.
Fantastic post! It reminded me how easy it is to be responsible with old electronics. A few days ago, I sold my unused phones to a Mobile Scrap Buyer in UAE. They provided free pickup and quick payment, and their eco-friendly approach really stood out to me.
Sounds like a great weekend full of fun traditions! The pumpkin contests and Buffalo Chip Throw always bring out some real creativity (and a lot of laughs). I’ll definitely try to make it out to Heritage Days this year — especially to catch the contests and maybe take a drive down Escape Road afterward. It’s such a pretty route this time of year with all the fall colors!
What a brilliant and thoughtful piece. This article does a fantastic job of highlighting the intricate details and cultural significance of Ed Sheeran 2025 Old Phone Green Jacket. It's truly a masterclass in fashion commentary. I'm always looking for content that goes beyond the obvious, and this site consistently delivers that. This jacket looks incredibly comfortable and stylish, making it a great piece for a day out or a night in. I am inspired to find a piece of outerwear as well made and iconic as this one.
Just wanted to share my experience with https://payforessay.net/. The essay I ordered came back formatted perfectly, and I didn’t need to make major changes. It’s definitely a reliable option if you want something straightforward and stress-free.
