In the shade - PDX, OR

I'm getting excited for Saturday's fun. I just want to know where everyone else will be as well.


I'd like a listing of all of them if at all possible.
Internation contingents sound off also. France, Belgium, Spain, Germany, Poland etc.

East coast, West coast, Norther growers in Canada, Southern growers and everyone in between too list them all. If you are weighing them on 10/2 list your site name, City, State & or province.

Thanks & GOOD LUCK to ALL!

Homebrew,

Definitely take your 250#er! Last year I took a 176.5#er and got last place in the Elk Grove squash competition... I had the time of my life, and so did my family! Have fun!

Colorado Hail, CO. Elev. 5,900 FT

Are there going to be any web sites that are doing updates during the day? I'd assume this would be the site to check first, or does someone have "exclusive coverage"?

Who would be able, if possible, to contact each weigh off via a cell phone call to someone who can relay the results?

Pehaps a better idea is to have a few specific weigh off sites assigned to a person, & have a couple or a few people doing this rather than just one single person doing it all.
Anyone have some suggestions? Are there going to be enough curious growers who will even be on line to appriciate something like that?

I myself am going to not be at any GPC or WPC site, as we need to get one here in Colorado going first! I would be willing to help do this, if there is any interest. I figured on posting the sites name and organization, then a grower/ weight/ place listing, as well as the genetic cross {male & female} Example:

THC {Torrid Hostile Conditions} Colorado Weigh Off Results:
------------------------------------------------------------

1} Joe Scherber 601.9 {962 Willamse F X 539 Stellpflug M}}
2} James Kane 601.8 {575 Dill F X 671 Gancarz M}
3} Madman Marc 601.7 {530 Gancarz X self }
4} Ozzy Ozbourne 601.6 {999 Sawtelle F X 666 Sawtelle M}

Nothing too difficult to get info on from someone at each site. I should also ask who will have a cell phone Saturday who can relay the info for posting, and are willing to do so?

Eric: Im glad you showed up at canby.. As a new grower i was suprised to hear you attended a differant weighoff earlier! I was suprised because it seemed silly to have a simalar weighoff same day less than 100 miles appart!!!!! Wouldnnt it be nice if the two groups could agree on a new site??? unite and consentrate on keeping the records hear on the west coast where it belonngs! I thought i even saw MR GREEN JEANS, Boy i would of liked to bennd his ear? DBH
