Hey Tom, I was reading the story and looking at your photos on dailymail.com about the pumpkin festival. The third place winner was Brent Kessler. He works for St. Albans Fire Dept. on my shift. Check this blog post. http://ffmitch.blogspot.com/2008/09/b-shift-saint-albans-fire-department.html He worked real hard growing that pumpkin. It was his first year growing one. He said he was afraid all of us were gonna get tired of hearing about it 'cause he talked about it so much. He went back Sunday to try to buy it back so he could get the seeds but he got outbid. The guy that bought it told him he would send him some seeds from it so he could try for a bigger one next year.

Can you send me his tele number via my email. I'll see if we can get a story in the paper about him.
ReplyDeleteI sent his number to your Daily Mail address.
