You and I are friends but this is pure BS.  The official weight is and was
825.  For the record, yes I was there.

      DR. David Garrell set the new CT RECORD this wed. with a 821 LB
pumpkin at the Durham Fair in Durham, CT. There was some questions as to
the scales accuracy so and outside CO was hired to come in and reweigh it.
I was present for the reweigh. It is officially a 821lb. The fair weight
had been 825, It was grown from the 845 Bobier and was sibbed. Great shape
and color too. So, Congratulations are do to David!

 Bart, The last thing the list needs is a new thread on this subject of what counts as a state record. Since the scale at the fair had not been calibrated in years and the scale it was reweighed on had just been calibrated and the reweigh was done by the scale Co. rep. We're going with the reweigh of 821LB. Lets not start a 2 week thread on this. Your buddy,
