			  <description><![CDATA[
						Did you know pumpkins can give you gas? Well, not really, but one very large pumpkin gave two patients a tank of gas each at Marion Chiropractic Center. through the month of October, patients tried to guess the weight of the large pumpkin that was sitting in the middle of the waiting room of the clinic. At the end of the month the two correct entries were picked out and each winner was given a pre paid gas card for $25. The winners were Jean Griffie, who says she &#8220;never wins anything&#8221;, and another patient who prefers to remain anonymous (a local grandmother).
