Hi everyone...does anyone happen to have any contact information for the current Missouri weighoff director? I am trying to figure out what date to plant my seeds and need to know when the weighoff will be. Also, if a pumpkin is grown in missouri and then weighed in a neighboring state does that pumpkin still qualify for the Missouri state record? Any help would be appreciated!Thanks

Steve, if you grow a pumpkin in Missouri and have it weighed in another state it counts for a record in Missouri (as long as it is heavier than any pumpkin ever grown in Missouri) and it gets listed or positioned at the weighoff site it is weighed at. I live and grow in Maine and compete at Topsfield Fair in Ma. Hope this helps, Al

Steve, It's nice to see another Missourian out here. The only info I have ever seen is below.

Republic
Great Missouri Weigh Off
Carl Huffman
199 North Hwy. 60
REPUBLIC MO 65738
417 732-7855

I found it at:

I have never contacted it, so I'm not sure how accurate it is. The city of Republic is by Springfield.

Hope this helps, Paul
