This is a list of the New State Records for Oklahoma that I have been able to set this week. I just got back from the Local County Fair with most of our stuff. Luck has it they do not have categories for Giant Pumpkins or Giant Squash but I left them there under the field pumpkin category after we had gotten certified weights at a local Peanut Company who had the only certified scales around. Got a First place on the Pumpkin and a Third place on the Squash, they gave the Second place to a field pumpkin that weighed less than 5 lbs.

Pumpkin
539 lbs (575 Simmons Female Selfed) Beat last years very first record set by Tiffany at 317 lbs.

Squash
490 lbs (821 Garrell Selfed) Very First Established Record for Oklahoma for Giant Squash

Cantaloupe
43.5 lbs (41.5 Lehman open pollinated)
