Does anyone need about 10,000 pumpkin seeds?

Jacksonville, FL(Zone 8b)

I work part-time in the Horticulture Dept. at the Jacksonville (Florida) Zoo & Gardens. We are gearing up for our annual "Spooktacular" event which will occur over the next couple of weekends. A principle part of the decorations is about 1,000 carved pumpkins. As you can imagine, that means there are a lot of pumpkin seeds disemboweled and tossed into a pit and buried (to keep them from growing and overtaking everything!). If there is an interest in having them, I could mail about as many of the seeds as might be wanted to one person and that (willing and able) person could distribute them; or if there is one person interested in having them all (for next year's pumpkin farm or to roast and eat for months to come?), I could mail them to that person. Unfortunately my time constraints can't allow me to mail out a lot of packages, so I would like to just mail a humongous amount of the pumpkin seeds to one person. Also, I won't be able to do much cleaning and preparation of the seeds other than to box them up raw and mail them.

Let me know if anyone is interested. I hate to see the seeds go to waste.

Well, I got 4 requests for the pumpkin seeds, so I think I'll close out this offer. I'll try to split up the supply into somewhat equal portions. The first batch should be available around this Wednesday, and the second batch about a week later. I'll let you know what the postage will be prior to mailing so you can decide then if you still want them.

Thanks for your replies!

Four ?? Wow - that's lots more help than you need, so I will regain my sanity and UN-volunteer myself.
