Sorry about the bad typing, Really should proof read first. I should have wrote Mass. Not CT (close by our standards is 150 miles)so I guess CT is still close to Boston So can I try this again, weigh offs in Mass. please

You get here Eddie & we'll have a good old time.
From Boston you can hit Pennfield CT, Topsfield MA, Anagansett NY, Frerich's Farm RI, maybe even Oswego & Cooperstown.

The only work Eddie has to do here is lifting his glass. We usually put traveling growers up in the guest digs but his daughter might not be amused.

OK we have a confirmed flight for Thursday, the 28th, had to book today, as the seat sale ends. and I return home Sunday. A friend of mine is also tagging along, his wife is already in Boston as she works with my daughter. So 2 Canadian boys would love to help pick some pumpkins. We are staying in Cambrige.
Unfortunately we will only be able to make Topsfield Eddy

Eddy give me a call or through me an E-mail and we can hook up. Hoomis, Lancaster, Michaud, Duffy and I pick the pumpkins Friday morning (insert drink beer here) then go off to the fair arena to make sure all is set for the morning. It's a busy day but fun.

Would like to go to fairfield but will never be able to get the pumpkin there between 7-9 am...If I do get it out of the patch whole can I make arrangements for a little later delivery...I don't have to be considered for prizes just want to see everyone and get it weighed...not that it's anywhere near your sizes..but I know it a PB....I hope..LOL

Chuck...For exhibition the entry time isn't critical. We don't start weighing the competition fruit until Noon. Last year we put several exhibition fruit on the scale just so that the grower knew what it weighed.
Get here & we'll do the rest.
