Congratulations Gene, and the rest of the growers, you have impressed me with such tremendous weight for such an early fair. Alex my condolences on the big one that got away. I spoke to you last year (at Durham) after having a disappointing season, what a way to bounce back this year. You should be proud.

Thank you everyone!!! Sorry I have not had much time to check BP.I am very busy with the Woodstock Fair. She went a bit light on me but what a beauty. Perfect shape and color. I hope she has a lot of seeds that I can share with you all. I would also like to say thank you to John and Kerry Young for making such a great cross and sharing there seeds. That's your baby! Also Norm Gansert for giving me the seed. I called him and told him I wanted an orange seed that would be big and orange. I guess he was right. I pushed it pretty hard and it did not disappoint!!

Gene you not only grew a great pumpkin but helped organize a great weigh-off and public Q&A during the fair.

The weigh-off went just as planned with a great time for both exhibitors and spectators. It was an added bonus to also have our regional GPC rep present.

During the Fair your effort is commended for keeping a careful eye on all of the pumpkins and answering the many questions form the public.

The pumpkin was everything anyone could of hoped for, big orange and symmetrical. It is "cover material" and has been added to out home page which sums up the accomplishment!
