Wow, that is amazing. The Kansas state record was 405 pounds just a couple of years ago. Between the constant 30 mile per hour wind, viscous thunderstorms, hail, and more days over 95 degrees (and 100) than anyone should have to endure it is amazing that anyone still lives there to even try to grow pumpkins. I'm glad that I moved to Northern California 19 years ago!

I remember staying at what they call the "Encampment Building" at the Kansas State Fair years ago when I was a 4-Her and it being 90 degrees inside the building at Midnight. Yeah, those were the days...

My family & I want to thank everyone who helped along
the way this season. Each of us reached a PB. Andy, Pap & Ron for the seeds. Phil H for timely advice, Doug for your product. Wiz for that spell you cast shutting down the wind when I was just about ready to throw in the towel. And everyone else who has ever put a seed in our hand or a solution to a problem. Without you we might still be growing 80 pounders.

Brian, Melia, Sierah & Brianna (my secret weapon)
