Though their website is not completely updated the information about the weighoff is available.

The $300 is not big time prize money and having to leave your pumpkin there for a week pretty much assures it will be destroyed, but its the only weighoff in Virginia.

If anyone has any information about a weighoff at the Raleigh NC farmers market please let me know. I think Weeks Seed was listed in Langevin II but their website says nothing about a weighoff and they haven't answered my emails.
