Hi Everyone,

I see this contest has generated a little interest. I do have several bubbles(understatement) asking for the 1068 Papez and entering contest. Quite a few growers have asked if I have received their bubble request. I'm just getting around to it now. I work at the casino and the holidays are the busiest time of year for us, so please be patient, I will answer all emails when I get a chance. Quite a few growers have given input on how to make this as fair as possible, so I have come up with a few guidelines.

Number one, I need to receive an email by May 31st, to say that you have planted it and its up and growing. This will allow me to post on BP the growers who are growing the 1068 Papez by mid June and who are eligible for the 1068 giveaway.

It would be great if you could post on growers diaries, updates thru out the season. I think this would build excitement to the contest.

It needs to be an official weight at a weigh off, doesn't have to be GPC but would like to see it on the aggc site.

No dmg,uow, est pumpkins.

Will close contest on Oct 31st, results must be posted by then. This date can be changed if incovienient for some growers.

Open for any other ideas, please feel free to suggest anything.

And yes I would love for Brooks to grow one lol

Thanks

Drew, this is a great idea, and if I get one, I will try and let you know before 4/1 how it is doing!!! This seed is THE one that I want to plant early, and win the Indy State Fair, AG Pkn weighoff with!!! I think it would be fair to give me at least a 300# bonus for weighing this monster in mid Aug!!! LOL
PS...I really hope I don't beat Brooks!!!
