We hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween. While we know it's been a bit since the weigh-off, we just wanted to give a huge thank you to everyone who participated in our Giant Pumpkin Weight Guessing Contest! We loved seeing all your guesses roll in on Facebook and Instagram!

The official weight of our giant pumpkin was a whopping 2,389 pounds, and two lucky participants came incredibly close!

🥇 1st Place: (Instagram)
Guessed 2,397 lbs — just 8 pounds off!

🥈 2nd Place: .8317 (Instagram)
Guessed 2,380 lbs — just 9 pounds off!

Congratulations to our winners, and thank you again to everyone who joined in the fun! We'll be reaching out to our winners via Instagram direct message.

Until next year, keep thinking BIG!
