In Memory of John Colburn

During this season we lost the long time pumpkin grower John Colburn. The Team wanted to acknowledge him in some way but were not sure how. The idea came up to have an empty palette on display in his honor. Since John also liked the orange pumpkins the special recognition palette was painted orange and a folded lifting tarp was also added. This set-up was placed within the giant pumpkin display just as if he had an entry.

This is something I suggest other weigh-off sites consider as a way to remember those growers that have pass away. I feel it was a great way to honor and remember someone that has supported the weigh-off in the past.
