The Checkon’s also weighed a state record bushel gourd in Altoona.

I helped with measuring the Checkon’s lg and can tell you it was actually a hair shy of 149 3/8”. If it were not for the curve at the tip end it would have surely been a new WR. It was amazing.

Larry and Jerry -- Very well done. It's not over yet but I will guess that you will be #1. We'll soon know,then next spring we get to start all over again. 150" is the next milestone.--Cheers--AE

Thank you all. To even come close to the lofty heights set by Al Eaton has more than exceeded our expectations.
