I successfully learned how to drive the trailer, and pumpkin loading was a success. My first trip was down to the Deerfield Fair in NH on October 1. I was going to drive down the day before and stay with a friend, but we got slammed with rain, and I didn't want to take a chance with driving the trailer. This was the day Portland flooded really bad.
I brought the 1400 Lopresti to this one because I wanted to save the 1695 Gaboury (The Bangor Community Garden pumpkin) for Damariscotta, which was closer for the community members to go to.
The 1400 Lopresti's estimated weight was 1177 pounds, and she ended up weighing 1185 pounds! I was super happy with this after what happened with the hail storm. She ended up making it into the top 5, which meant I had to leave her at the fair for exhibition. Ron Wallace won first place with his 1790.5 pound pumpkin.
