Great news for our growers! We have extended the deadline for the Giant Pumpkin Growing Contest. You now have until midnight on September 7 to submit your entry.

It has been great to see our community getting involved, caring for their plants, and sharing updates. Even with the recent weather in our region, the pumpkins are looking healthy and strong.

We want to send a big thank you to Maple Park Farms for starting and providing the pumpkin plants. Claystone was also happy to supply nutrient-rich compost to help everyone get the best growing results possible.

How to submit your entry:

- Please email your pumpkin's measurements and weight to [email protected].

- Make sure to use the subject line: Giant Pumpkin Submission.

We can't wait to see how large the pumpkins have grown and to crown our champion on September 14.

Good luck to all of our growers! Don't forget to send in your measurements by midnight on September 7!

At Claystone, being a good neighbour in Ryley and Beaver County means always looking for ways to improve how we operate. That is why we use Bettair at our compost facility.

Bettair is a air-quality monitoring system that uses sensors to measure dust, weather conditions, and gases linked to odours in real time.

This technology alerts our team when conditions change, helping us act quickly to manage odours and reduce our impact on the community.

Read our latest blog post to learn more about how this system supports our ongoing odour-management program:
