There was none last year!?
Brad's long gourd is a bit longer than himself. :-)

Ian, this is assuming your 111 of last year is or was the current record. I guess we have to use the info, we have.

As far as I know the 111 Paton is the ER. There is a longer one in Germany, but it will have to be officially measured.

Theo, mine was only 191 cm.

It was officially measured yesterday, in front of a big audience and a TV team, according to the GPC rules. It took place near Cologne / Germany and will be documented on our website later this day along with the pumpkin weigh-off.

The new ER is 112.28' or 285.2 cm from Jo. Offermann, Cologne. It was great to see this Long Gourd and congrats to the grower.
