thank you to all that participated
it was a wonderful day with plenty of large pumpkins to go around
the fork lifts were pulling 900 + pounders out of the kiddie patch
great job by all entrants

Wow! 19 1000 pounders.
That's some stiff competition.
RI and MA proved they can hold their own with NH.

Jim Kuhn came in 24th with a 952.4 , he lost his biggest one as quite a few of us did.
To add to Topsfield info.....10 giants between 900 and 1000 , 13 between 800 & 900. Al

Rhode Island

you are absolutly right on stan

today they were pulling 900 pounders out of what we fondly refer to as the " kiddie patch "

10/2/2004 9:13:21 PM

Rhode Island

a few short years ago 900 pounds got you a seat in the front row
now some growers are leaving them home

Very impressive. Hope everyone had a great time!!

Way to go everybody!!

Topsfield, Ma.

I hate the "kiddie patch" 709 lbs...but it was great fun being in the "show"! Lotta great growers and great people willing to jabber about their season and techniques, wouldn't miss it for the world! The bonus this season was making the acquaintance of Alun and Gareth Jones. Safe trip home guys.

Cologne / Germany

Congrats! But remember everyone was complaining about a pretty bad season with terrible weather and temps a few weeks ago:-)
Considering that, the Topsfield Top 20 is not shabby at all, like some other ´04 weigh-offs this weekend.

Wayne Hackney did not grow this year, I spoke with him at the weighoff and he told me he had too much going on this year. Sooooo Wait til next year ??????????
