I've been asked to help improve our local weigh-off at the TN Valley Fair in Knoxville. Is there any interest in a GPC event on the first Saturday of the fair. Depending on the year that Saturday will fall on Sept 6-12. The last thing I want to do is steal entries from other GPC sites. We're looking for extra fruit. The tentative plan is to have equal but separate prizes for pumpkins, squash and watermelons. I guess I'm looking for a head count as to who might be interested and what you might bring. You can post here or e-mail me at brotherdave01@aol.com

With the responses here and through e-mail it appears that there is enough interest to go forward. If we can get the organization and sponsors in place we should be good to go pending approval of the GPC. In the mean time get your line-ups ready and consider growing for an additional category other than what you normally do. Remember we are tentatively planning on an equal prize structure for squash, watermelon and pumpkins.
