Looking great keep it going. Glad to hear you hosted Manitoba growers and about Roland fair. Brings back many memories about 40 years ago or so when one of the World's best growers from there at the time had a giant squash shipped here for our weigh off. EDGAR VAN WYCK he also came and stayed here with us. At the time he and my father were Canada's top growers. If I remember correctly a seed company offered his line of seeds named the "Manitoba Miracle"? It produced a mixture of various colors at the time: green, grey, yellow, mixture of both, etc but big.

Thanks for that, that’s very interesting! I always look forward to going to Roland, it’s one my favorite weekends of the year! Lots of great growers there and they put on a great weighoff!

Yes I bet they do a wonderful job. Roland is also "The Birthplace of 4H" in Canada.
