Hello All -
Well it was a year in the making (in my own head, on my own computer) and I am very proud to announce the results of

The 1st Annual Bitterroot Giant Pumpkin Weigh Off!!

This was the year to reach out to the competitive spirit of the hobby
growers in our community and inflict them with Giant Pumpkin Fever!

With 3 major hail storms and a frost each month of the growing season, most growers were hard pressed to even produce one fruit...
but we've planted the seed(s) for some stiff competition for years to come.

A 1st time Montana State record has been set!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
