Re: INDIANA STATE RECORD

This is probably not what took place ( I wasn't there)
 But it leads me to a question,,,,,,,If a pumpkin is ruled sound before weighing & is damaged by putting it on the scales is it still ruled sound?

Dear Growers,
 
    The IPGA Board has came to a decision on Tom Beachy's New state record. We will not be recognizing this as the new record . Our ruling has been a hard decision . Tom is one of the top
growers in  Indiana & the first 1000+ in state .  Under the rules this pumpkin passed an intial
inspection but it started leaking pumpkin juice on the scale. This we feel as a group is not a sound fruit. The weight was recorded at HUBERS weigh-off & won first prize. The judges at the show allowed the weight to stand at the show. As a fairly new growers association we do not want the integrity or credability of our group to be comprimised with the "judges" decision making. Hopefully all will understand our decision at this time.
 
Thanks,
Bruce Gatewood
President  IPGA
