The annual Haumoana Giant Pumpkin Competition is happening this Sunday.
As with many events in Hawke's Bay, things are different this year, with people in the midst of cyclone recovery.
Parents at Haumoana Playcentre will be on the barbecue to raise funds to re-build the damaged playcentre, which was designed by famous architect John Scott.
Julia Hughes is on the team organising this weekend's event, she talks to Jesse.
