There were a couple other split pumpkins, unfortunately I did not get the weights recorded on them. I hope someone with more complete records will post them for us. The top three fruit represented British Columbia, Oregon, and Washington so the entire region was well represented. A great event to start our Northwest weighoff season. Pleas forgive any incomplete names or misspellings as I copied from the board.
