Whidbey Island

If I read it right, Dean's taped the smallest of the top four, so he had to sit through 3 other weighings before he won. Must have been nervous as a 6 year old who has to pee.

Congrats Dean.

Congratulations everyone.

no Mikalec entry at the fair this year?

can I reminisce for a minute... the 2000 puyallup fair was the first weight off that I entered. It ended up that I weight a few more lbs. than my pumpkin( 203 lbs.), but I still had a great time. And I even got a few $$ and free tickets to the fair because the fair bought one of my pumpkins to carve and display (Thanks to the Hollands). It's a lot better for pumpkins than the Utah State Fair.
