Re: Another pumpkin record to fall
Perhaps it is a California record? Sure sounds good! I wish Windsor,
California
was a tad closer to home :-) Have fun!

Kathie,
If Glenda wants to break the Pumpkin Pie record, she needs to think bigger.
The record is 39 feet 1inch and uses 16 gallons of milk. And, they're goig to
try to break it again this year. It's in Ladysmith, Vancouver Island, Canada.
Here's the link: <A HREF="http://pumpkinnook.com/giants/record.htm";>http://pumpkinnook.com/giants/record.htm</A> It's at the bottom
of the page.
Save me a slice or two....lots of whipped cream!
