Here are all the stats. He was entering weights at topsfield for NEGPGA and uploading them to the site so I do not think he would have had time to take pics.

Actually, I photographed every pumpkin and squash. I am in the process of adding photo links to the GPC results pages. However, I have to get a few more sites working on the data collection software first.

Well i owe you an apology Ken. i was not aware of all the work you were putting into this. I think i speak for everyone in saying thank you.

Topsfield, Ma.

Weigh-off results for the GPC can be found on the BP.Com opening page, right below Joe Jutras' world record accomplishment!!! One just has to click on it and choose the site results you're after...Ken had Topsfield results on-line by end of weigh-off...not too shabby a performance I must say. The guy's pretty much a one-man band now...attending weigh-offs, entering data, snapping pics, and writing the software to make it all come together so we can surf it all! My hat's off to Ken, thank you ...

Thanks guys. The GPC has grown quite a bit in terms of the number of sites this year. There are 57. All of these have to be setup for the data collection process to work.

Ken, My hat is off to you.

The job of administering this site is increasing right along with the status of this growing hobby. I can certainly relate to you and the time you put into the yearly march to the scales. As a GPC exec, Club rep. Weigh-off coordinator and organizer of the convention, I am often overwhelmed by the size and scale of what has become a very large organization based purely on volunteer efforts. Congratulations are in order from all of us within the Commonwealth and here at Big Pumpkins.com.
