I was wondering just what this was for- is for a specific GPC weigh in locale? The entry blank that I just got for the 2003 Oswego GPC weighoff has a much different prize structure:
Pumpkin
1st- 1,000
2nd- 750
3rd- 500
4th- 100
5th- 50
6th- 40
7th- 35
8th- 30
9th- 25
10th- 20

Squash- 1st $250
2nd $100

Watermelon- 1st $100
2nd $50

In the shade - PDX, OR

Rick - The totals that you listed should be for the individual weigh-off site.

The GPC money is on top of the individual site payoff.

For example I belive that Jerry Rose received the $2000 for being the largest pumpkin at a GPC site. He also won what ever the site offered for first place.
