Squash just don't cut it. Ray Waterman knows this. His event is
called a Pumpkin Weighoff. I doubt you will ever see the word squash up in
lights
at Ray's. Say what you will about Ray. He is a purist and, I think, proud of
it. For years he has been out there pushing pumpkins, not squash. Ray's
favorite color is for sure orange.
I guess some of you newbies who have been in this for less than 20 years
don't know that I petitioned Guinness Book of Records back in 1984 to include a
"Squash" class. They had only a pumpkin class that included both orange and
green fruit. So to say some of the things that have been said are way off base.
I have done a lot for squash growers also. Why don't you go after the real
challenge and grow some big ones instead of replying in this nature? I meant
little by saying, "what is colour anyways". Notice I used the Canadian
spelling for Wayne. Get real and get growing! Ray
