Just wondering who is going? Weather supose to be nice (means no rain ). Rain is forcast to leave friday night, lets hope they are right this 1 time. I hope mine makes it as its looking very ripe, but I'll be there regardless. Say hi !
I posted pictures in my diary of my 243.5 from Ky weighoff. You can see why it went way light LOL ! I hope this one isn't so hollow, but i bet it is. Anyway, hope to see you all there !

Me and Doug Adams are coming. Mine is very ripe to. What do they mean by vine must be 1 inch from stem. I cut mine on the vine on each side of the stem hope I did it right. The stem looks a little dried out but there doesn't seem to be any rot. Hope they accept it. I picked the last four today. My 213 was 22 pounds light. My second biggest 255 was 14 pounds light at 191. I'm bringing the biggest 255 to Allardt. It looks a little rougher than the 191 but looks bigger. Good luck Chris maybe I'll at least get to see a giant if your coming.

Wish I could come, but as I don't have a competitive melon and my employer doesn't like to let me off on a busy day, I will save any favors he owes me for another day. Good luck Chris, I hope you get the record.
