pumpkin. The winning pumpkin was grown off
the 998 Pukos 2005 seed. This is Tanner's
third Utah weigh off win. He also won in
2004 with a 906 pound pumpkin and 2005 with
a 932.5 pound. Both new state records. Congratulations
Gordon.
Oct 2007 - BLAIR WINS AGAIN
For the second straight year Kenny Blair
has won the UGPG weigh off. Kenny's 988.5
pound giant took top honors at the 2007 Utah
Giant Pumpkin Growers weigh off by edging
out Andrew Israelsen's 948 pound pumpkin.
Blair's winning pumpkin was grown off the
1247 Handy 2003 seed, the same seed that
grew his 2006 state record pumpkin. This
is Blair's 4th Utah weigh off win. In 2000,
2003 and 2006 he won with 633, 752 and 1104
pound pumpkins respectively. Congratulations
Kenny.
Oct 2006 - BLAIR BREAKS THROUGH THE 1000
LB. BARRIER IN UTAH
The weather at UGPG weigh off was cold and
wet but excitement filled the air as Kenny
Blair’s pumpkin was moved toward the scale.
The crowd roared when m/c Larry Sagers announced
1104 lbs., a new Utah State Record and the
first pumpkin ever grown in Utah over 1000
lbs. The humongous pumpkin blew away the
old record by almost 200 lbs. Congratulations
go out to Kenny for his 1104 lb. monster!
Kenny grew his pumpkin off the 1247 Handy
2003 seed.
