I just took a look. Wow Steve! for your sake I hope it goes heavy. I've had a 1566 Rodonis pumpkin weighed at the 2008 Alaska State Fair in August. Taped 343 OTT, weighed 907 lbs, 8.9% heavy, color and shaped similar. I say it goes heavy or it wouldn't have stayed together this long.

Good god man!! That guy is raising the bar pretty high for next year. That should make us all even more insane during next years growing season!

I see now that in John Doucets dairy (5150) he posted a picture of this pumpkin from a far. But when he took the closeup shots it was of Steve's 1689 which also looks impressive....
