It was indeed a great day in Half Moon Bay. A side note might be the square
Atlantic Giant pumpkin that was unveiled by my husband, Farmer John. Easy
to look at, but not as easy to execute. And it is was a nice, beautiful
orange color. It added a little fun to an amazing day.
Would love to know the statistics on the chances of two pumpkins grown from
the same seed line to weigh identical weights grown one year apart. Quite a
remarkable story. Congratulations to Joel Holland on yet another win and
too all the big winners

Before weigh-off season ends, we ought to acknowledge the accomplishment of
John Sach of Whittier, whose 908-pound 7th place pumpkin at Elk Grove on
10/1 is probably the record for Southern California.
Mike Brock, you keep the records - has any So Cal grower ever done better?
Pirate, Troy, do you know?

Are you saying it was weighed on 10/01 ?? and then entered again at Elk
Grove, if I read this right, no fruit can be allowed to be competive that
was previously entered at another weigh off. Seems to be standard rule at
most weigh offs . Please correct me if I got this wrong. Cliff Picketts had
the biggest pumpkin grown on PEI this year, weighed it at Windsor N.S on
10/01, was beat with the one he brought to PEI weigh off by Bill VanSchuppen
a week later, he made his choice & lost, he could have brought the bigger
one ,so Bill wins all the marbels. Been there done that, please correct me
if I'm wrong. A 908 is a great achievement, need to be praised for what it
did where it did it, but in no way take away from the true winners at Elk
Grove where it placed 7th. At Elk Grove it's a 7th placed fruit & if that's
one of the offical sites in Ca then it should stand as such. The view from
here.

Karthie
Thanks for rubbing it in..... I can always count on you for making my day
that much brighter... OH you also forgot that Mr. Sach also holds the
California
State record for Squash 828* i believe..... so YES he holds the Southern,
CA
record for Pumpkin and the State record for Squash.
I will just sit here and curl up with the Third largest Squash ever
grown
in the state of California the 789 Smith* 05 (962 Sherwood* X 703 Smith*)
and let her know that it is OK her seeds will brake the 1000 LB mark next
year
!!
Thanks for helping me look foreword to next year ... Take care and I wish
ALL of you personal bests and a Wonderful off season !!

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
