It was a beautiful day for a weighoff in Circleville and here are the official results:

1. Dr. Bob and Jo Liggett................1375.5 lbs.
2. Buddy Conley/Karen Wiget..............1145 lbs.
3. Ken Speakman..........................1073 lbs.
4. Caleb Miller..........................1069.5 lbs.
5. Jody and Sheri Selvage................1063.5 lbs.
6. Darryl Crosby.........................1001 lbs.
7. Joe Gerchy/Lisa Gerchy................976.5 lbs.
8. Dean Parks............................852 lbs.
9. Tracy Garrett.........................827 lbs.
10. Biff Bumgarner.......................727.5 lbs.
11. Carol and Dave Douglas...............612 lbs.
12. Chris Vanderpool.....................602.5 lbs.
13. Paul Huffer..........................542 lbs.
14. Paul Huffer..........................522.5 lbs.
15. Carolyn Vanderpool...................406.5 lbs.
16. Biff Bumgarner.......................398.0 lbs.
17. Gary Mayle/Huggins...................394.5 lbs.
18. Fred Frazier.........................338.0 lbs.
19. Rob Hampp............................298.5 lbs.
20. Dave and Deb Hoff....................206.5 lbs.

There are many stories to a growing season, but most notable was Paul Huffer's come-back from serious injuries to actually grow two pumpkins this year. He had counted himself out from the beginning but the growing bug kept him going. I have a feeling we'll see him in full form next year.

Official results will be added to the BP.com and AGGC databases once the Pumpkin Show dust settles and official data on each pumpkin confirmed.

Thanks for the compliment Joe, I wasn't going to be denied growing.
And a big congrats to Dr. Bob. Hail completely leveled him & he still got that monster off a newly grown secondary.

Thanks for the compliments! My success is due to the help and support my wife and I receive from our local Circleville Giant Growers group along with a multitude of other growers that have passed on valuable information and help in this great quest to grow an awesome fruit.

Dr. Bob, do you use the whole Agro k program or just some of the products?

He uses parts and pieces-of the program---> most growers use what work for them --meaning what work for there patch--this comes with experence--The program is just a very good guide line for what a plant needs to do well-- and it does it very well--craig
