Original Toronto Star caption: Sea of pumpkins heading for metro. Nine-year-old Greg Corley cuts pumpkins from the vines at Baxter Farms; just north of Lindsay; before they are readied for shipment to Metro. Greg says these are not for pies - they're to be carved into thousands of jack-o'-lanterns for that night of ghosts; goblins and witches. After all; Halloween is just two weeks away.
