Red Gold is celebrating the Fall Season by participating in the WZPL 99.5 Smiley Morning Show Pumpkin Drop.  On Halloween Eve, October 30th at Conner Prairie, an 1100lb award winning pumpkin will be filled with nearly 300lbs of Red Gold Ketchup and dropped from a crane hundreds of feet in the air!!  The Smiley Morning Show crew will be live on air from 6:30am-10am providing entertainment and to hype up this annual event.  Red Gold will be on site with our SSR promotional vehicle and Stewie, the Red Gold Mascot.

In addition to the Smiley Morning Show Pumpkin Drop, the Red Gold Company will donate over 4,000lbs of tomato products to Gleaners Food Bank in Indianapolis leading up to Thanksgiving.  “While the great Pumpkin Drop filled with Red Gold Ketchup is sure to be a lot of fun, the Red Gold donation to the Gleaner’s Food Bank will help needy Hoosier families.” said Greg Metzger, Director of Red Gold Marketing.
