SE MN Weigh Off Results

The Southern Minnesota Giant Pumpkin Growers Weigh Off was held today in Austin, MN. It started raining about 1/2 hour before the weigh off and the rain ended about 15 minutes after the weigh off. Not much fun standing in the rain and probably cut down on the entries, but the results were great with some personal bests. Dave Bhaskaran almost had two 1000 pound pumpkins.

The following results are for pumpkins, watermelon, squash, sunflowers, tall gourd, and tall corn.
