Just wondering if there at any giant pumpkin growers in the Northern Minnesota area that would come across the border to a fall weigh off site?

I'd be interested, but I would need to know the regulations for crossing the border.

sneak across... with a giant pumpkin in the pickup bed?

I always get checked at the border. I must look guilty.

Just put a boat cover and mount a trolling motor to it as you are crossing at Pigeon Falls.

Awesome! Please check it out, I'm curious myself. I will check with the border and see what I can find out.
We would love to have our US friends come across and join our event.
I am the contact person so if you need more info just post, or email me.

Knowing USA customs, I'd bet getting back with it would be the problem. I can't enter the USA with an apple but they'd allow a giant pumpkin? Lol.

I checked with the pigeion river crossing and all they want is that the pumpkin to have no soil on it,and to have proof of registration at our weigh off site!
The USA side said there would not be a problem bringing it back into the USA, but it may need to be inspected.
