Hudson D. with an estimation guess of 503 was our winner!

The actual number of pumpkin seeds in the estimation jar was......658!!! Those flat little seeds were a bit deceiving - great job Hudson for getting close and winning a mini pizza from Godfather's. Our guesses ranged from 65 to 10,000. 😁

Come take your best guess on the jar full of peanuts through July 2.

Peanuts have replaced pumpkin seeds - stop in and give us your best guess.

We will announce this afternoon the number of pumpkin seeds and who came the closest to that number.
