Woodstock Fair
753.0 DeBacco ’17 (F: 400 Crowell ’15 x 1463 Hoelke) - Howard Dill Award!
Day: 70
OTT: 330” (official weigh-in measurement)
Est. Weight: 782 pounds (using the 2013 Team-Pumpkin chart)
This is a great looking pumpkin and also maintained a nice overall shape to it. I was also glad to see that the measurement I took four days ago was almost spot on (1” difference) to what the official measurement crew calculated at the Fair. While it did weigh in under the estimate, it makes up for this small disappointment with the great orange color. To my enjoyment by the end of the weigh-off this pumpkin was awarded the Howard Dill Award for “Best Looking Pumpkin”. This pumpkin was pollinated with the plant (1463.5 Hoelke) that grew my Marshfield entry (729.0 DeBacco ’17) that had good shape and decent color and some percent heavy. Overall I think this could be a great cross that came out how I originally planned before the seeds were even started.
