Dennis has been growing giants since 1996. He likes to experiment a lot.
I am sure Dennis will be producing a top contender in the next year or so. View Dennis's Growing Trials
Jerry Christian (Big Foot)
Jerry has been growing since 1994. He created "Big Foot"
pumpkin hoist
in 1996. Since then he has created Big Foot 2 and 3 incorporating
new features and extended lifting capacity in each new model. His
pumpkin hoist is the envy of every Michigan weight-off site.
Jerry's pumpkin patch has fallen on hard luck the past couple of years,
failing to produce a real big one. But he is hoping to use his hoist
on one of his own soon.

Gordon has been growing since 1994. He has successfully grown
several monsters over 400lbs and even a 500 lb fruit. But has always
had to take 2nd place at our local competition. He has a hungering
for the 1st place bragging rights and is working hard to gain them.
Gordon also organizes the Berville Lion's Giant Pumpkin contest every
year. ( Good Job! - Pee Wee )

to the patch everyday with his dad and lends a hand. When he was one
he would give the pumpkins hugs. When he was two he became a great
weed puller. When he was three he learned to hit the pumpkins with
sticks.
