Winners - The Great Pumpkin Weigh Off Pool

Congratulations to the five winners of the weigh off pool.  They all guessed over 1,200 pounds and now will be showered with seeds and pumpkin stuff.

and the winners are:

1. Greg Stucker - 1,264 pounds, just two pounds off the record
2. Lorie Carriere - 1,246 pounds, a little light but good for 2nd place
3. Bruce Kaye - 1,279 pounds, a little heavy and only a pound out of 2nd place
4. Paul Huffer - 1,236 pounds, beats out all the second guessers
5. Gus Smithhisler - 1,226 pounds, good for the last pool

The rest of the contestants (including me) shoulda thunk heavier.....

The five prize pools are listed below.  Greg gets the first choice of the prize pools and so on down the line.  I will contact the winners directly and get their choice of pools.  When I get it all figured out I will post the final winners on the Mallorn list.

A summary of all the valid guesses and prizes is at this link:
