tTe best day of the year is over, and we had a great time. Jacob's pumpkin went 21% over the chart, weighing in at 866.5. A new personal best for him, and it beats my best too. He took 3rd for Jones County growers, 18th over all and won a plaque and $130. Competition is really getting strong. 2 years ago my 841 was 1st in the county and 8th overall.
My pumpkin also went 21% over the chart, weighing 633#. I'm just glad I didn't break the springs on the truck. And I ended up selling my pumpkin to make a couple bucks.
The biggest thrill of the day came from the Pumpkin Recipe contest. They started a new Hall of Fame Award and my daughter Jessica was the first winner. She has been entering the contest for many ears and Saturday she was grinning from ear to ear.
I will post pictures in the next few days.
