The Woodbridge Fair Weigh-off is a go and I will publish the prize list when I receive it. I am waiting on the fair board who this year have paid the GPC fees, raised the prize monies without the help of the defunct Lunatics. The prize money will be similar to last year. Here are the categories which I have proposed to them earlier this year. We will need the help of Growers and friends present to make this a success. Being one of the last weigh-offs, the potential for another Canadian Record is possible. Dave McCallum
