Congratulations to Adam Blalock for his 1033.5 7th place pumpkin. Adam will be a force to be reckoned with next year! All of the pumpkins, squash and other veggies at the Hoffman weigh-off in Canby were awesome! We are fortunate to be involved with many fantastic people in the sport of growing pumpkins! You are right, Jack will have to come up with a better handle - 1064 won't work anymore!

"We sure would love to see something like that in Germany!"
Are you sure, Michel?

I would like to see a pumpkin with that weight and the shape and color of the 801.5 Stlets... lol

The 1420 sure wouldn't have had a chance in a beauty contest! But congrats to Jack on the WEIGHT anyways!
