Good job guys, you made me quite proud. It's not too often you see an unproven seed grow 2 of the top 10 pumpkins at a weighoff.

thanks again.

Did Mike Golat drive all the way from Washington to enter a pumpkin in Wisconsin? Or as if things were confusing enough in this hobby we now have two growers with the same name? Maybe I should take up competative napping.
