I'll be getting my pumpkins weighed in Altoona on October 6th. This will be my first weigh-off and I'm excited. I thought holding a contest to guess the weight would add to the fun for me.

So here is the contest: Guess the weight of the fruit on my 1334 Daletas plant. You can guess the same number as someone else if you'd like, you don't have to guess a different weight to win. Closest to the weight, high or low, wins. What do you win? Seeds from all of my crosses from the last two seasons shipped free to your door. And maybe I'll toss in something else as well. Good luck and thanks for playing.

Sorry chief, but only one guess per person/username. If multiple people guess the same weight and that is the winning number, everyone who guessed the winning number gets free seeds. I wasn't sure if I made that clear in the first post. Good luck to everyone, now back to the game.

The weigh-off is today. Just a little more time left to get a guess in. I'll pay attention to see what time it weighs, so if it weighs at 10:15 then thats the cutoff time. Good luck to everyone. Especially to those who guessed really high, LOL.

The cut-off time really ought to be like ten minutes before it's weighed. But I'm not the judge! Just an opinion so that everyone gets a fair chance. Good Luck!
