Thanks everyone for the support. It is just setting in. New PB, Illinois state record and placing 1st at a GPC event but most of all being with and talking with such a group of awesome people. I have to give a huge shout out to Roberts Family Farms and all the FFA youth & volenteers who worked so hard in that heat! Wow. What a show they put on. Mr Andy Mills & Frank Mudd I bow to you!

Fiona did weigh light. I believe possibly plant stress, lack of full sun for approx 8 weeks and 12-15 inches of rain slowed her way down on inside grow. Will be interesting to look inside at air n rind thickness. I dont think this takes anything away from the 146.5 seed.

It was a great event to be a part of, especially seeing Joseph and Charles break their state records... Joseph you don't have to defend Fiona, she weighed over 300 lbs, something not many can say... I wouldn't care if my melon tapes 400 and weighs 300... It ain't how close to chart they go it's what they weigh! Congrats on a personal best year! Also Congratulations goes to Charles Bentley who showed he's a elite melon grower! This guy is taking 240s and giving them away! Congrats to both of you... Sue top 10 avg was 252.2 lbs... Welcome to the watermelon show!
