Good News Department - Vickie Takes First, Matt Takes Second

Vickie Reynolds is a winner with her gourd. Here is her picture of her 95 1/2 inch long long gourd. Vickie took it to the Cooperstown weigh off on September 27, 2008 and won first place with it. They can grow as long as 120 plus inches. That is what she has growing on that big trellis next to Matt's pumpkin patch. Here is Matt Teeter of Windham with his 2008 midget pumpkin. He took second place at the Elmira weigh off. His pumpkin weighed 1047 pounds. The first place pumpkin only beat him by three pounds.  It was 1050 pounds.
