Wow, wow, wow, what a day at the VGPGA weigh-off. Beautiful summer weather and some HUGE pumpkins! The day was dedicated to the memory of Monique Brigante who recently passed away after a battle with cancer.
A big congratulations to Dick and Ann Squires for taking top prize and setting a NEW Vermont State Record, 1649 lbs! Almost doubling their previous personal best, great job. Laural and Todd Keys took second place with “Hail”ey weighing in at 1439 lbs, also a personal best! Both these pumpkins were growen from Laural’s 1330.5 seed. Other personal bests were Dale Duffy 1140 lbs (earned a 1k jacket), Jonas Keim 772 lbs (first year junior grower and Howard Dill award winner), Michael Gilchirst 582 lbs (first year grower), Bill Erskine 412 lbs, Mike and Sharon Morrison 197 lbs (also first year growers). Congrats to everyone who got a pumpkin to the weigh-off, that is an achievement in itself.

We also had a lot of other vegetables weighed in, Kevin Companion set a NEW Vermont State Record with a 129 lb field pumpkin and John and Kerry Young took top watermelon at 104 lbs and top long gourd with 122 3/8”.
