Nice prizes! I think I might have committed myself to the wrong direction on the 29th. I hope that the Bloomfield HD pumpkin can make it to Stillwater for the orange lineup. There must be someone down there that is going head north on Oct 13th.

SIGPGA is offering up $50 to the grower that travels the longest distance to our weighoff.

Also this weighoff is held in a huge building so weather is not a factor.

Jacob and I will be there with field pumpkins. We had a great time there last year. It is a great facility for a weigh-off. Weather looks to be OK, but I will probably have to take frost covers off before we leave. They are predicting pockets of frost, and if anyone gets it, we will. First frost worries before a weigh-off in quite a few years.
