Hello pumpkin growers and pumpkin lovers,

As some of you may know, we’re making a documentary about my dad, Bill Foss (BillF), and his passion for growing giant pumpkins. (http://www.quantumpetshop.com/projects/pumpkin.asp)

Its weigh off time and he’s doing very well this year and he’s already met one of his goals. Now he’s hoping to win the VOW and beat the MN state record (1083.5 lbs). This is great, but it would be really cool if we could also get some broader coverage from other weigh offs from across the country/continent/world.

If you have a video camera (or a friend or relative with a camera) and are willing, please consider taping some of the weigh offs. We would love to see your tape and maybe even use it in our documentary. We are especially interested in any video of any new record breakers, be it state or world records. (Is there a universal record yet?)

We are also interested in photos of record breakers and big festivals.

Also, if you can, let us know of any TV coverage of giant pumpkins or weigh offs, especially record breakers. Please send us the station, date and time of report (and reporters name if possible) and a short description so we can contact the new station regarding the report.

Contact me directly for more information or further questions at ryan[_at_]quantumpetshop.com (replace [_at_] with @), or ask in this forum.

Many thanks and good luck,
Ryan Foss

Hi Ryan

I just watched the Kare 11 news at 10:00, and Julie Nelson had a piece on a pumpkin from Parker, South Dakota. Give her a call and get a copy of the news report.

I am looking to serve at a pumpkin festival as Sir Pumpkin and whack pumpkins in half along with a story about Sir Pumpkin and how to control one's anger. Any one give me some contacts?\
