Social distancing guidelines will be maintained, and face coverings will be provided for free to attendees.

Claremore, OK 74017

Unloading of entries will be from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

This will be held in the style of a traditional weighoff, so you will be able to observe each fruit as it goes onto the scale, while maintaining the "safe distance" specified in CDC guidelines.
