2011 winners have been posted, a big CONGRADS to everyone ! This was the most sucessful year for melons grown & weighed
at GPC sites with a 34% increase in the total number weighed over 2010. The number over 200 went from 20 to 29.
Several growers made it into the top 10 this year who previously had never had one over 200. Great job !

I hope I live to see giant watermelon growing become as popular as giant pumpkin growing.We are certainly headed in that direction.

You were close Wayne, Todd Dawson's 282 was the biggest in the world for 2011 and he weighed it at the Yadkin Valley contest in North Carolina. There were also a lot of melons weighed at Allardt where Chris Kent took his amazing 70" girth 274. It was a great year for Carolina Cross growing but I believe 2012 is going to be even a lot better.
