Hey that rymes....lol. Tomorrow I will bring my 898 Knauss to the Durham Fair in CT. I crossed the 898 with the 1097 Beachy. Not sure if this is the only cross produced as I have not heard of any others out there. The pumpkin is currently estimated at 760 lbs. She does look heavy. The winner with the closest weight will receive 10 Seeds. This could be a great producer....thx Ray Leonzi

How about the first one to guess gets 5 seeds! My guess is 805.5 lbs making it 6.6% over the charts just like Mr. Orange's.

861 I broke out the little calculator and added 13.2% to the estimate and it came up with 860.32. Since you have already guessed 860 for your own pumpkin I rounded up.
