I am copying and pasting this post, if it is jumbled, then blame me, I will fix it.

This information is UNOFFICIAL and was compiled by an unbiased grower at the weigh-off and translated by me. It is for information only as I found it interesting. Please throw and negative/positive comments MY way.

This is only the top 13 places; there were a total of 26 pumpkins weighed. When the official results are published, then they will be posted.

Note: Place 5 grower was actually Owen Olsen, represented by his much better half
Place 9 grower was probably Ingo Lenz, also represented by his much better half :-)
