Guess the Weight of the Great Walnut Grove Pumpkins

 
Where is the Great Pumpkin grown?  As Rotary legend goes, the Rotary Club of Walnut Grove is home to the largest record holding pumpkin grower in Calaveras County.  Each year, secret growing seeds are hidden throughout Walnut Grove farms and tended over by members during its growing life.  The goal is having the largest pumpkin for our guessing game.  Then one evening, a fork lift magically appears and transports the annual Great Walnut Grove Pumpkin to F&M Bank where the community can guess its weight.  Thank you for participating in this fun Halloween game.
  

At 273 total weight, the 2023 Winners are -  Danila and the Tyler Uslan Foundation
