Every year in September the Village of Waterville has what is called " Crusin into Waterville. Waterville is only 2.5 miles from my house. It's a day of different bands playing all day. A huge car show. Last year there was over 200 old cars and some old trucks. Motorcycle show, many crafts and food sales. A very long parade. Every year I get bugged about putting a pumpkin in the parade so people can see what a huge pumpkin looks like. But every year The Crusin into Waterville is earlier then the weigh-off's. But this year my smallest pumpkin had developed a small hole in one of the top ribs two weeks ago. So I plugged the hole with caulk.I was surprised this saturday morning when I taped my pumpkin to get a OTT and it was still growing. OTT Measurements were 152.5 +92.5 + 94 = 339 which comes out to a estimate weight of 818.5. The pumpkin was weighed on a certified digital scales and it's weight was 933.5. According to AGGC weight estimation it went 14% heavy, Pumpkin was grown from 1316 Harp
