I’m sure our friends to the North, will know who “Dave who” is next year, if not Ron Wallace and “PAP” You know the USA always let other countries win once and awhile, just to be good sports! Just a note. This pumpkin has “Dave Who” and “Ronnie Known” genetics in it. As in Mom and Dad of the seed that grew it. Just another USA care package to our Northern friends! I’m sure the World Record will be back to old USA next year! Ohhh, that should get those boys fired up!! Hockey anyone?

You have continued a streak that dates back to 1998, and includes 10 years of new records in a row, and 13 out of the last 14 years. Wish you the first 1 ton pumpkin (2000 pounds) in 2012.
