Wow, the rumors are flying now! Just a reminder that for any pumpkins to be considered for transport to the NYBG from the West Coast, Half Moon Bay on Oct. 9th would be the latest possible weighoff. Eastern US and Canada fruit could still be eligible up to the 14th as long as they can be delivered no later than Wednesday Oct. 18th. Due to budget constraints the GPC tries to get the top 3 pumpkins/squash in the world to New York. However due to shipping costs our primary goal is to get the #1 in the world if possible for sure, then determine the other 2 as location and budget allows.

Growers, if your pumpkin or squash does qualify, please be as flexible as possible with making arrangements and accommodations! The GPC and NYBG will be contacting the 'winners' as soon as possible after the weighoffs to start making plans!

Good Luck to everyone!
