Weigh-off in Kasterlee yesterday , on halloween..When i arrived in Kasterlee(10.30am) i could hardly believe my eyes:Cars were stationned till miles away from the village.I was guided to a place kept especially for me to unload my pumpkin.Thousands and thousands of people were there... 15000? 20000?...It's a pumpkinfest and a weigh-off.There were many attractions,
Music,singers ,even 'Alphorns'.Local TV was there too. National TV would arrive in the afternoon.I was very welcome there and everyone of the organisation wanted a word with me and i was also able to meet most of the winners from the previous years.As the winner of Duisburg (10/02/04)I also had to say a word to the public (picture).
Wow ... What an overwhelming experience!. As they took my pumpkin of the pallet i saw it was leaking a little.Could i win here? The second of Duisburg (Jantje)was here and also a very big pumpkin that wasn't in Duisburg but stayed on the plant till today.It was Leo Cuypers'pumpkin.To me it seemed bigger than mine.
