I dont have any links but the 1610 Lieber was a nice shiny orange. It accomplished 2 things on Saturday. It was the heaviest and prettiest of the show.

Guys who took pics of that 1610 need to get more up in the Gallery. Not often a guy gets the Howard Dill Award, AND is the heaviest. - has that EVER happened before?

My 900 Sandvik fruit is definitely one of the prettiest pumpkins I've seen this year.

This was generic Lowes AG that stopped growing on day 25 around 100lbs. It is also a really goofy shape, but deep orange\red in color.

My son's 866.5 birdbath was the favorite backdrop for parents photographing their kids in Anamosa. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/displayphoto.asp?pid=6777&gid=-29668 It is the one on the right of the photo. Besides the perfect color the kids could sit in it for a real cute photo.

Martin Nagle grew a really pretty 408 est. off of a 170 Rudolph seeds from last year.

http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=145406

As you can see in his diary he had a really rough year, with 2 hail storms, and only two of his plants even survived.

He selfed it once again, so that is 2 generations of self pollination already.

I'm hoping to get some seeds from him, and plan to self the line once again, so it will be x self for 3 generations.

408 est. Nagle = 170 Rudolph x self = 879 Zoellner x self = 1317 Rose x 1290 Piorier.

501.8 McQuay 10.

1269 X Self

with better soil and more time this fruit would have grown much larger, It was growing in thick Muddy Clay soil.
