RE: Southern MN Pumpkin Weigh Off Results

Hey George....  How did everything go with the wedding?  I hope well, it was a beautiful weekend.....    I see there are some nice size pumpkins after all.  We didn't make it over, 2 soccer games with my eldest daughters game being in Northfield from 11 to 2.  So thinking about next year, I'd like to get some seeds that might produce better results.  The only pumpkin we ended up with was a high on stem end and basically didn't grow on the back half.  I guess it's about the 60 - 70 lbs range.  I've learned a lot this year and will be planning for next year.

	It was a beautiful day (70s) in Austin for the Southern Minnesota 
	Pumpkin Growers Weigh Off on Saturday, September 25, 2004. Even though 
	the weather in this part of the country was not the best for growing 
	large pumpkins this past summer, many large pumpkins appeared at the 
	weigh off. Some growers brought more than one pumpkin, so the second 
	pumpkin was placed in the Exhibition List. Here ae the results for 
	pumpkins, squash, sunflowers, watermelon, and long gourds.
