Had such a great time at Anamosa. Met so many good people. My daughter and I got there very early and watched some of the early weigh ins. Found out Marty Schnicker can vertical jump 7.5 ft after hearing his Melons weight of 209 lbs,lol. Congrats marty. Mark and son on LG's, WOW!!Also saw that I have in fact been measuring my LG's wrong, we watched how the sight guys were measuring. One would hold the soft tape measure at the stem end while thee other guy would keep the tape pressed to the surface of the gourds following the curves to the end tip so I guess thats why I gained 1/2" in length to get 98" instead of 97 1'2" the morning of,lol. I throw out all my 2014 LG entries,lol. Hey Scott Steil I looked thru the FP seeds and found a pack of 2, 81 Wolf 2009 (88.5 Leland x 145 Mcinnis) seeds and a pack of 2, 94 Lyons (81 Wolf x Self. What ya got to Trade? lol!! It was awesome listening and learning from all of you I spoke with!! The Folks up there were just awesome as well as the parade and uptown venues. I won't mention the diff types of foods MMM!! Mr. Greg Norlin & wife, simply the Best of the Best!! Now the real work begins...Again. P.S. I did take home thee award for most Air captured within a melon. Pig, 297 Kent x 291 Kent taped 171 ott and weighed 117,lol.
