Re: Re: Don't blame Anamosa

Ray,

It is jerks like you that take the fun out of a hobby. Please drop your self serving bickering. All of this noise and egotistical postering between competing orginizations makes you small. You are in this for the money (to promote yourself and your seed business) Get a life. I grow for the fun of it, I have not gone to anyones weigh in for the past four years or posted here because of jerks like you. I will go to the weigh in in Illinois because it will be run by people that simply enjoy the sport. Greg, you may remember me from past weigh in's....keep up the good work and don't take the crap from Ray.

Pumpkins 2". Last year Chris Pesche made the decision to break away from the WPC.
I now understand why.
