Re: Call for Pictures

Don,
What a great and thoughtful request from the lesser known growers and weigh
off events.
Here are a couple from the first annual Bitterroot Giant Pumpkin Weigh Off.
Hope they are to your liking. I eagerly look forward to your new book.
Thanks,
Kim Thomas, Weigh Off Coordinator
