Just uploaded the rest - and will be up once approved. The watermelons may have a duplicate, just so you know and I don't have them ID'ed.
I also have to thank our "official" photographer who had double duty yesterday - my fearless husband who gets taken to all kinds of different events with me and ever the great baby sitter!

Indeed a well thought out, well run weigh off. Hats off to those that contributed their time and effort to pull it off without a hitch. Big thanks to our West Virginia brother that made the huge contribution to the prize fund. Sorry that you couldn't make it.
Who's wearing the cap now?!
