WOW! Just got back from Topsfield. I got to stand next to Whittiers and Jutras pumpkins. They were amazing. The biggest things I have ever seen and they were tall and orange. These two guys were amazing this year. Jutras with 1121 at the Big E and then a 1225 at Topsfield and then Whittier with a DQ 1458 and a Topsfield winner of 1301. I was wondering where the big CT pumpkins were, I will have to work on that, HA HA!

You are right Traylor, I see only one entry on the registration sheet for Topsfield. Where were all the Ct. growers ? We had at least 6 go from Maine......... Al
