Greetings from Japan
Here is a note from one of my contacts in Japan. I have been trying to find out the 99 pumpkin weighoff information, but as you can see, it has been a tough battle. Will keep trying.
Here is an example of a pumpkin TV show or maybe a father created this
for her daughter in real life.
The letter is from Japan, so be aware of the language barrier.
