18.01.2022 Congratulations to the 2020 Giant Pumpkin champion Chris Rutishauser, claiming the top gong with his giant pumpkin weighing in at 27.8kg! Chris was closely followed by the McKenna family entry at 25.8kg and in equal third place, David Martin from Government House Darwin and Noel Fisher with pumpkins weighing in at 13.3kg! A special thank you to Barnyard Trading for sponsoring the category and hosting us for the weigh in! Growing a giant pumpkin takes around 5 months, so its a test of patience and perseverance! (And pest eradication - we're told white ants played havoc on a number of pumpkin entries this year!!) Thanks for all our entrants! Wonder if we can achieve a 70kg pumpkin for our 70th anniversary...how good would that be!
