No Place Special

First Id like to say thanks for all the support and wonderful ideas everyone has provided to this contest and Steve and I! This contest can and I think will be as AMESOME as we (BP.COM members) want it to be. Depending on this years participation and results we can be cutting a path that will lead to a great tradition here at BP.com and maybe help stir some interest in the sport. Based on the e-mails and votes I have received, I fully expect 20-30 participants in our contest!!!! I am going to make it my personal mission to make this the best it can be and to enroll as many participants as possible in our contest. As a little way to maintain a level of interest I offer to you a FEW of the prizes that will be given to the winner or winners of the contest. As im sure MOST of you know, a 845 Bobier seed will go to the first place winner. This is being donated by Steve Davies. Also to first place will be a BigPumpkins.com one of a kind sweatshirt that in some fashion will acknowledge that you are the 2003 contest winner!!! David Garrell will be providing an 805 Pukos seed to our prize package. Ben Boyton (Boily) is currently growing an 845 Bobier as many of you know from watching his diary this long cold winter. He is selfing that plant and if all goes well he will provide us with 20 of his 845 Bobier X Self seeds. Steve and I are contacting a few Heavy Hitters to collect donations. Im not going to let EVERYTHING out of the bag yet but I will announce one HUGE offer from a Heavy Hitter. Al Eaton, one of the best growers in the world, has offered to us 20 seeds from his heaviest official pumpkin in 2003!!!! WOW!!! With his talent that could very well be the next world record!!!! EVERYONE is welcome to join this competition and seeds will be available on BP.com through the seed page. DOn't worry everyone will get some seeds. Also, if anyone would like to make a donation to the prize package, let Steve or I know. Thanks, Mike/Steve
