Each Person is allowed 1 guess per catagory, There are 2 Catagories
1) Guess the weight of the largest pumpkin grown in 2005
The winner will be the guess closest to the weight without going over. So if you guess 1499 lbs and the weight is 1498 pounds your guess is no good.
2) Guess the grower of the largest pumpkin for this year. Again 1 guess per person.
In either catagory, if the same weight is guessed more than once, the first guess for that weight will be the only one honored
Same goes for the grower.
There will be one seed given to the winner of each catagory.
The seed for each catagory will be the 670 Daigle
They are authentic.
You could be really lucky and win both
Guesses will be accepted until Noon BP. time Sept 30th.
All pumpkins are eligible that have been weighed at a weigh off in 2005 and are sound. Pumpkins weighed after Oct 1st are not elligable.
Let have some fun!!!!!!

This is going to be unfair to many growers because of the info that is already out. My guess is

I would suggest rethinking the grower catagory and making it something else because of what everyone already has been told. The weight one is good but make it so the growers name is attached to it. Eddie this is just my thoughts and thank you for having this contest and giving away such good seeds.
Thank you

Point taken, and rumors run rampant. But it's still only a rumor, there are 2 weeks until weigh off. Pumpkins split!!!
I'll keep the format as is, because there are guesses already made. Also that's why I went with 2 seeds, one may be easy but the weight can be anybody's

I wonder...

Category 1: 1546

Category 2: Hey, what a second, Checkon has already been guessed a billion times or so! I think you have goofed up here, Eddy! Everyone who guessed Checkon as a second answer has just eliminated one category for themselves, because there is already someone who has done it! In fact, there must be over 30 checkons already! I think you should have done it as name and grower being one category, but it's too late now I guess, there are already some 70+ posts already! So I'm going to be smart and guess a new grower; Brett Hester!
