Idaho State Fair results

Well it was pretty funny to watch the ladies with the clip boards stress over how the heck they were going to Move these pumpkins,and then all the suggestions that came about.
When they tried to pick up Brian's they almost dropped it off of the Jerry rigged tarp set up, but being the helpful guy I am, I grabbed hold and saved it from rolling off and hitting the floor. (your welcome Brian. LOL) everyone in the building was watching all of this happen and  there was this big gasp and then silence as everyone held there breath, then the sigh of relief.( it really went quiet there for a moment).
Next they brought in this big forklift with a pallet and plywood on it and took it to the livestock scales,the scales they had in the building was smaller than the pumpkins.
After they got their system down everything went great.
The main question was how do you get them that big, I told them that Brian used steroids and Cliff and I used waste water from the local nuclear plant and then a lot of love, fertilizer and stress!!
we also told the Lady in charge that this thing is only going to get bigger and to wait till next year.
By the time it was all over they were deciding that there would be a new category and they were deciding where the new pumpkin area would be and what the new display would look like.
O.K., enough of that, now for the results,
