The Southern Minnesota Giant Pumpkin Growers Weigh Off was held Saturday Sept 24 in Austin, MN. It started raining about 1/2 hour before the weigh off and the rain ended about 15 minutes after the weigh off. Not much fun standing in the rain and probably cut down on the
entries, but the results were great with some personal bests.

Thanks to George Heyne for the following results.

1) 1038 - Dave Bhaskaran, Rochester, MN
2) 877 - Bill Foss, Buffalo, MN
3) 871 - Nick Bhaskaran, Rochester, MN

5) 826.5 - Carolyn Heyne, Rochester, MN
6) 655 - Dennis Buntrock, Elgin, MN
7) 642.5 - Margaret Andree, Brownsdale, MN
