Builders Club Members Harvest Rollie Cooper’s Pumpkins & Squash for the Community Space

On October 3 an ambitious group of Builders Club members from Whitewater Middle School, together with a number of other community members, made fast work of harvesting hundreds of pumpkins and squash from Rollie Cooper’s field on Wildwood Road. The harvest was organized by April and John Borsodi. WMS Assistant Principal and Builders Club Advisor Ben Holzem walked with the students from the school and cheered on their efforts. By the end of the afternoon John Borsodi had delivered three trailers of pumpkins and squash to The Community Space. Rollie claimed that an excellent growing season had produced at least 50% more produce than what was delivered to The Community Space last year.
