Re: Weigh Off Results
Hello, Mr Bill Van!
No, I'm sorry to have been misunderstood.
The Elk Grove weigh-off was held on 10-1 by the rules. Mr Sach placed 7th.
His pumpkin at 908 pounds was far from the CA record, set that day by
Leonardo Urena's 1200.5 pounder.
But since California spans more degrees of latitude than any other state, I
felt it was worth acknowledging the accomplishment of someone growing at the
approximate latitude of Georgetown, South Carolina.
Respectfully,
Kathie
