And now the rest of the story...
In front of about 5000+ people, with about a dozen of the big pumpkins to go, the scale malfunctions. After about an hour of fiddling and fooling around, and don't forget sweat...lots of sweat...it was decided to cart the pumpkins to the Hospital to weight them accurately at another certified scale. Because not all the growers were able to witness their pumpkins being weighed and also the fact that a lot of them were weighed twice and the numbers were different, there is a small amount of doubt in some of us to the actual weight. I have no problem with the placements as I am sure we were all on a level playing field, but sometimes we are actually competing against our selves. I would really like to know the true weights if for no other reason than seed selection and science. Of course, all of this pales in comparison to the all the people who came to see the big pumpkins and never saw any being weighed and never had their photo op.
Please people...back up scales...
