The CNY Great Pumpkin Festival, October 4th & 5th, 2014

Karl Haist's New York Record Pumpkin - 1725.5 Pounds

I'm not sure what number to assign to this year's CNY Great Pumpkin Festival. I had the one held 2 years ago as #21, while the organizer called this the 20th. In any case, on a wet October Saturday, the pumpkin weigh in was held.

It started with Watermelons and Tomatos, and then moved on to the squash & pumpkins. First the field pumpkins, then the giants. Lots of pumpkins over 1000 lbs, with the winner a NY State Record at 1725.5 pounds.
