I went to the Elk Grove weigh yesterday.They were extremely disrespectful to me and my pumpkin. They decided it wasn't worthy enough to place it with the other pumpkins and placed it(obviously)with it's bottom side showing. It was one of the very few orange pumpkins there and maybe even the orangest. Part of it was hanging off the table. And then they never even brought me up to get mine weighed. Later on my pumpkin popped on the results board. I came there to get my pumpkin weighed and the least they could have done was put with the other pumpkins, placed it on the correct side, and weighed it with the other pumpkins. They allowed some kid come up with his 6lb ag. It was obviously a joke entry and questionable whether the kid even grew it. Grass was thrown at me by another entrant! Not to mention the illegal entries allowed and that won prize money at the weigh off. Whoever that was in charge of the other giant vegetables obvious didn't know the gpc rules and where to put things. The places were labeled and they still screwed it up.
