Holy Cow! I don't know if it has ever happened before, but the Smoky Lake weigh-off ended in a tie. My 1011 Zaychkowsky, and Eddy's (Iceman) 511 Zaychkowsky both came in at 770.5 pounds to tie for first place. We were sitting there talking about how it could never happen....but it did.

For the full story, go to

Go to the left side of the page and click on the video link. You'll find a story of the day. It was quite the event.

I'll post the rest of the results once I figure out where I put the results sheet.

Congrats Eddy! It was great to share the top spot with you!

We didn't win at the "Farm" weigh off last year in Snohomish (not even close) but my wife and I both had pumpkins hit the scale at 649 #'s.
What are the odds. Need to buy Mega Lottery tickets on days like that.
