That should have read for $25 registration fee you get to enter one official and one exhibition pumpkin. Additional pumpkins after that will cost $15 per pumpkin to have it weighed. Each Person entering a pumpkin will also get a family pass of 4 to enter the farm.

Also as a reminder the winning pumpkin will be retained by the Bengtson's and seeds retrieved by myself on November 1st. If the winning pumpkin is large enough to win the top 3 GPC trip to New York Botanical Gardens then the pumpkin will be shown at Bengtson's until the day loaded to go to New York. Thanks.
