Saratoga Springs New York. The prize structure has been modified to include more positions in 2 categories. Heaviest Giant pumpkin will have a payout to 10 positions. 6th- 10th will be 100$ per position. And Howard Dill will pay 3 positions - 200$ for 2nd, and 100$ for 3rd! The rest of the prize structure remains the same. I want to thank the NYSGPGA And Steve Westcott for the additional funds. Also, if going to the free growers picnic, please register on the weigh off site. SaratogaGiantPumpkinfest

This is always a good time. Getting together a relaxing before and after a weigh off with friends. Again, the hotel accommodations we had this year where great. We will definitely be going back there next year! The owner of Anne's Washington Inn, Joe, was top notch!
