I am really looking forward to coming out of hiding for this weigh-off. Should be a beautiful site and low stress. Time for growers to enjoy. I haven't decided which pumpkin to bring, whatever i choose will probably be small. I will also bring a tomato...even if it is one that weighs 1/2 pound. I hope to see all the Minnesota growers there, and hopefully a few from other states...lets have fun at this one.

I plan on bringing my pumpkin there as well. It's nice to have a weigh off closer to me than Stillwater. I hope to finally meet you there Bob, if we both make it. I hope the turn out is good as well. That's a nice prize structure IMO.

Tom has done a great job transitioning the weigh off from Apple Jack's Orchard to the Gale Woods Farm location .. As always we are looking for some seasoned pro's to assist with the Weighing, Taping, Judging and Traffic control . This is also an official GPC site.... SO, Any and all Fruit from Iowa will be penalized 200 pounds ... lol
