148x90x88" It looked to weigh over 700 lbs

pollinated)
123x84x80 + 7.4% Heavy, light colored, Nice shape

pollinated)

This is the scoop here, not the Largest group... But still proud !!
The WPC will not be sanctioning this site next year. It will be done
privately. I would like to ask the group for ideas on how to make a weigh off
site. Any info on the following will be helpful:
Sponsors, Prize money, Prizes, Plaques, Trophies, Ribbons or a BELT??.....
Date and Time any other ideas will be helpful. I think I can draw Some large
pumpkins here. DesPlaines is 20 minutes from Downtown Chicago.
