I know this is cheating but I have 3
#1..Circleville, I've been going to this weighoff since I was a youngster in Elementary school when I would get out of school early to go watch it. So over 40 years of watching this it's truly #1 in my heart
#2 ..Canfield, Being able to see some of the biggest pumpkins in the world and talk with some of the best growers is truly a thrill.
#3...Oakland Nursery, no entry fee - free t shirt - a nice meal for you and your family that provides the opportunity to get to know the growers in a more laid back environment before the weighoff begins.

Definitely Hamilton. Same reason as Al stated. Combined with a festival that sells beer, you can't go wrong. Good prize payout too.

Windsor, where else? Watching Howard inspecting the entries, talking with the Man, doesn't get better than that. Danny stepped in, same atmosphere, same experience. If there is a Mecca in the Giant Pumpkin world, it's Windsor.

Elk Grove but if Uesugi Farms was closer, it would be right up there.
Favorite non-GPC is the Auburn Community Festival.

Anamosa Iowa of course just ask ANYONE who has ridden in the giant parade sitting on or next to one of the top three and thrown candy to 10,000 screaming people... ITS a heck of ride...And of course the whole back ground of the reason the whole weigh off got started just makes it very very special to help represent such heart tugging event

I've only ever been to the home town weigh-off, but I have to agree with Dan Carlson. My goal has always to get a ride on the float for the top 3. I haven't done better than 7th place, but I'm still trying. It is the biggest event in town by a long shot.

Strange how money changes people...

My favorite weigh off is the hometown one -- Circleville Pumpkin Show. 4 days of nothing but Pumpkins and people from near and far enjoying them, tht is the reason we grow, beside how incredible they are to watch...

I've had a blast going to Circleville and would love to get a pumpkin down there. Dundee is a great weigh off, enthusiastic growers and close to home.
