Junior Division Created
The board voted to create a Junior Division at the weigh-offs. Everyone 13 years and younger will compete as a junior- for a 1st place ribbon in whatever category they enter. There will be no prize money involved, and that will allow adults not to be forced into an exhibition entry. Juniors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when presenting their entry and if they win - when picking up their ribbon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
****Hard cut off is hard cut off- even if you have a 3000 lb pumpkin. Do not put the coordinators in a position where they are counting time to the minute. Study any traffic construction alerts, have alternate routes in mind ect..........****
All GPC rules will be observed. Please don’t bring any pumpkins with foreign substances on them. Any questions contact the weigh-off coordinator.
Expect initial judging to be done while the fruit is on the vehicle before it is off loaded
