>>Its not really a official new State record unless weighed at a sanctioned site on Oct 5th.
I strongly disagree.  As long as the pumpkin is weighed properly, is in good shape and credibly witnessed, the date and location of the weighing is irrelevant. I am personally dedicated to promoting the sport of giant pumpkin growing rather than promoting sanctioned weighoffs. This is the very reason I made my ' EXH, DQ, UOW, EST' post. A grower should not be penalized or his achievement made less significant just because he either does not have organized weighoffs in his area or has chosen to weigh his pumpkin through a channel other than an organized weighoff event. The location of the scale has nothing to do with the pumpkin it weighs or the effort it took to get it there.
