Re: Weigh-Off Time

Hi Marv

I'm evidently missing something.  Are you telling me that if I grow a World
Record Pumpkin that is weighed in, lets say OCT 15th with all the proper
documentation and witnesses, that it will not be recognized as a world record, or
that some organizations won't recognize it?
