You could email Bengtsons but I bet Shazzy would know

As of now....yes. I would make a post if anything ever changes. There has been some local news as far the land that Bengtsons lease from is now up for sale. Personally I think they will work it out one way or another with the amount of money and time they have invested in developing the farm into the top notch voted number one pumpkin farm in entire Chicagoland Area.

#1 in the state is what I heard, but since Chicago is the state capital;) then chicagoland covers it. Hope I can get 1 big enough to go there next yr.

I was just wondering about Bengtsons, because it is the only weigh-off location in Illinois.

Morton, Illinois has a weighoff each year sponsored by Libby's but I'm not sure if its a GPC event. Keep us posted Shazzy!!!
