Well what a day, you just never know what these beasts weigh and we should have expected the 1623 to excite.
It took ages to weigh all the pumpkins as we had an amazing turn out, it looks like this show is just going to get better and better.
Mark Baggs set the scales on fire with a 1582lb new UK record beating his last years record by 62lbs.It was way heavy and a very nice surprise as she was only tapping around 1400lbs.
To be honest when our one went on the scales we were all expecting it to be a close run thing. To say we were Gob smacked when she weighed 1884lbs would be an understatement.
If there is a competition for the friendliest show in the world we would win it for sure. Thanks to all of you that came and made it an amazing day.
1623 sib 1623 = 1884 Paton 14% heavy.
Sweet
