I made a video of Jake Van Kooten and his 1536.5 and posted it on youtube. Also on the video are many of the other Elk Grove pumpkins. Here is the link:

Great job George, thanks so much for filming the event and offering it up for all to see.

Jake has been a fine example of "the gentleman grower" from western Canada for years, seeing his reaction at the scales is "priceless".

George, as usual - amazing video and great song. I was amazed at the amount of women growers that had monsters on the scales!

Hello Jake---congratulations on your new Canadian alltime record and thanks George for the video from Elk Grove,CA.

Records are made to be broken and I am amazed my record (1446) held for 4 years.I predict your new record will last longer than that.You did it on Vancouver Island too,another surprise.

Well done and enjoy your accomplishment--AE
