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

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.

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.
