Magret Beazley showed up at the 11th annual Pathfinders’ Pumpkin Run

On Thursday, the 11th annual Pathfinders' Pumpkin Run, which took place from Tilbuster Station near Armidale to Sydney, concluded at Government House. This event marked the end of 6 months of voluntary efforts during which Pathfinders' young individuals cultivated, harvested, and prepared over 10 tonnes of pumpkins for those facing hardships.

The 'Run' - which featured mini-Pumpkin Runs - provided pumpkins and healthy pumpkin-based meals to shelters and non-profit community organizations in Inverell, Coffs Harbour, the mid North Coast, Newcastle, and Sydney.

At the conclusion of their journey, the Governor was pleased to host a morning tea at Government House to express gratitude to Pathfinders' young people, volunteers, and supporters.

And what was on the menu? Some of Pathfinders' own blues, butternuts, and jarrahdales:

For starters:
Pumpkin and cheddar fritters
Smoked butternut pumpkin puree and crumbled feta tart

Working up an appetite for:
Pumpkin and ricotta arancini
Sweet pumpkin pies

Not to miss for dessert:
Pumpkin spiced tarts with cream fraiche.

Thank you, Pathfinders
