the pumpkins have arrived

We were there during Wednesday's weigh-in. It is a four day festival. Behind the woman in light blue are the pumpkins that were already weighed. I think, i remember the announcer say there were forty to be weighed, and he couldn't remember that many before.  Eight weighed more than a thousand pounds. Sometimes massive pumpkins are ugly, these were all pretty good looking. Those in the foreground are available for purchase. [foto:jz]  previous visit [click]
Bob (and Jo) Liggett, who have won many times (15) before, now have the state record at 2,388.5 pounds. When the weight was shown and announced, cheers and applause quickly followed.
There were many people milling around. One fellow had this patch sewed on his denim jacket.
