The pumpkin and squash are site and state records for the moment, waiting to here from Quinn Werner (PA grower in Ohio weighing off) who has a few monsters there!

I will give complete listing hopefully before the night is up! We had 3 1000 pounders (the Checkon juggernaut), and the top 5 averaged over 1000 pounds!

Rained all day, but once Larry's beast was weighed, the sun came out and shined once again in the great commonwealth of Pennsylvania!

These are HIGHLY unofficial, but from what I gathered with the pics I took of all 700 plus pounders.. somewhere close to this top ten were Brian Staring, Andy Wolf and other great growers. Awesome size, smaller total turnout, but rain cant take the fire out of the pumpkin grower... We had fun!
