Here's the pumpkin sitting in its new home for the next week until Port Elgin. I know it'll be the smallest one there. But, I wasn't about to go there without something to show for it. Besides, the entry fee includes admission and a good parking spot.
After placing the pumpkin in the garage, I noticed that the styrofoam had broken off and one of the corners of teh dolly's platform had dug into the pumpkin. So, I had my Dad lift it slightly and I placed something more rigid under the tarp. Then I softened the area with sand and sprinkled it liberally with fungicide.
It didn't seem like too deep a gash. So, I hope it heals enough to keep from rotting and stay official. Otherwise I may have to use my other fruit. In any case, I think that the platform the pumpkin is on is kinda precarious right now. So, I want to put it on a pallet as soon as I can.
