This is my pumpkin.  I hug it every day while I'm helping my dad in the pumpkin patch.  My dad doesn't let me touch his pumpkins, so I have my own.

This pumpkin is from my dad's 195#-1997 pumpkin.  We came in second to last place at the Berville giant pumpkin contest.  But we got a real late start, we didn't plant it until July last year.  But we had a lot of fun!!
