Welcome to the 2016 edition of the Howard Dill Club brought to you by the Mid-Atlantic Giant Pumpkin Growers. The goal of this diary is to honor the recipients of the Howard Dill award and to give other growers a chance to see what the pumpkin looks like. Information about the cross will also be provided when available. Participation is completely voluntary and submissions should be emailed to Midatlanticgpg@gmail.com for posting. As always we will refrain from making any biased comments about the entries. If you locate any inaccurate information in this diary, please contact us immediately so that we may have it corrected. Good luck at the weighoffs this year and we hope to see your pumpkin here soon.
