Ya Steve Daletas!

There were 6 pumpkins over 1000 at Canby. I have those 6 pumpkins recorded, I'm sure someone who kept better track will post them up. I was too busy moving pumpkins.

1385 Steve Daletas off the 783 Daletas
1247 Steve Handy off the 695 Handy
1123 Jim Sherwood off the 695 Handy
1104.5 Brett Hester off the 898 Knauss
1014.5 Jack LaRue off the 746 LaRue
1007.5 Clyde Wilson off the 1016 Daletas

Congrats to all, it was an awesome day.

I'm going to bed now, 12 hours on your feet is a long time.

Good job everyone! Does this mean that the 1458 Whitter does not count as a world record?

porterville, calif.

Canby was great!! Ben you really was busy!! You were a Big help there. The 1385 was beautiful, you wouldn,t believe the orange color in it unlesss you saw it up close. Which i did. I was right up front when it was weighed. There were so many people there it was unbelieveable. I took about 75 pics.I,m going to download them Tuesday to see how many are good.I just got back from Canby this morning. Traveled about 1890 miles all together. I finish at 41st place at 326lbs. But i was glad I went and took something. I learned alot and can,t wait till next year. I am going the weigh off at Half Moon Bay next week. I wonder what Mombert is bringing there.
