First time driving with giant pumpkins was quite the experience too. I was pretty confident at this point. By the time I got up to Clare I was a nervous wreck.
Thank God I only had to go about 25 miles! The trailer weaved really bad on every downhill slope. Then once I got to Clare, I realized that the park I thought the event was at was totally deserted. While turning around in a gas station parking lot, one of the straps slid off the pumpkins and of course one of them kind of rocked going around corners.
Thankfully, I planned on my own stupidity, and left early, so I was still one of the first exhibitors there, and had time to laugh at myself which eased the nerves a bit, and left me time to chat with other growers before everything got started.
