There have been a lot of weigh offs already, and there will be several more after the 2nd, but one week from today, it is pretty much the "Super Bowl of Pumpkin Growing"!

Yeah, soon there won't be any more BS as tailgates drop. No more going out to the patch hoping that an inch or two will find its way onto the tape measure totals. All your friends
will soon be hating life for the duration of the time it takes to move your fruit{s}. Those growers who haven't went digital will be helping to keep film companies in buisness. Those growers who's weigh offs follow the next week will all be monitoring B.P.'s message board most of the day, and there will be plenty of "ooh's and Ahh's" heard all across North America! Yes, it's weigh off time!

Since several growers are traveling, and since plenty of growers will be loading up, I thought Wednesday night would really be ideal to invite anyone to a "pre-game" chat. Come in to hype up the players {growers} of your favorite team {Organization}, make predictions {who might rule}, talk stats { genetics, weights, measurements}, do some trash talking, or plead the fifth to make others worry for a couple nights!

Anyone can start the chat room whenever, but lets plan a get together around 5 PM till 6 PM Eastern, 8 PM till 9 PM Western. This can last as long as participants like, but reserve one hour of your time to talk the talk, or just listen in...

This could be a lotta fun, the more growers that stop in, the higher the boots!!! {I hope to see some of the BS get deep, I know a few Deion Sanders talkin growers!} Hope to see everyone there... just pretend we are holding a seed auction that night and you won't forget about it....LOL!

Great idea, Marc!

And yes, let's start at 5 PM EST. That is 11 PM over here and so we German and European growers can still be there.

Seed auctions will normally start at 8 PM EST which is 2 AM over here and way too late for participating....

See you there!
