Enter that pumpkin

I really admire your perspective.

.Here's a little story I like to share. My buddy and I had the rare
opportunity to throw a weigh-off in a small town...We coughed up some
dough....1st $100.00 in both junior and Adult divisions.2nd $75.00 cash
prizes to 10th both divisions. Anyway most people didn't enter because they
thought that because they saw one 500lb pumpkin entered before by my buddy
they felt they  had no chance....   So Our biggest in the Adult division
was 111lB.. second of $75.00 went to a 52lber  In the kids group 320lb took
first.....then a 251lb......and thats it  all that entered......So many are
kicking themselves for not entering..Heard of 30 or more stories" oh your
kidding"....."Mine was bigger than that" they would say.  It taught me alot
most people are still shy and embarassed about their best attempts and
afraid of laughter...so i thought to myelf sometimes i am the same way and
Damn'it THATS WRONG..... there are so many things that can go wrong with
these Ag babies that your seasons best, is you seasons best AND BE PROUD OF
IT!  May not win any money but you TRIED and it SHOWS.....and the rest of
us  applaud the attempt.....thats a hard thing for most to remember is to
applaud the attempt...but weeee do!!!.................................Brock
