Who Can Find the Biggest Pumpkin?

This weekend at Potters Way, we decided to keep track of who had purchased the biggest pumpkin and some families were definitely up to the challenge of finding the biggest one! It was fun to see people get so excited about it...it wasn't so much fun to haul these big guys out to the cars!


Shari Wendel and her kids with their friends came out on Friday and through that day, had purchased the most pounds of pumpkins by one group. The real surprise was that their wagons weighed EXACTLY the same! How ironic! The must have planned that!





Saturday morning, Abby came out with her family and chose the biggest pumpkin yet...it weighed 60 pounds! Abby also LOVED our black kitties, and they loved her right back!





By Saturday evening, Abby's pumpkin had been beat by Paulina's. This pumpkin weighed 62 pounds!







Not to be outdone, Bill and Tara Schmitz's kids, Allie and Brianna, and their cousin, Grace, came back out on Sunday and fought the wind to find what is now the reigning champion of pumpkins at 63 pounds! We really thought there was at least one out there that weighed over 70 or 80 pounds...maybe if they sit out there a bit longer, they'll continue to get bigger!
The challenge has been thrown down! We'll see how big the biggest can be!
