Oct 22nd, 2018: It’s The Great Pumpkin, Linus
Halfway between Boston and New Hampshire lies Topsfield, MA, a town of about 6,000 people.
Since they stopped burning witches nothing of note except the Topsfield Fair for the last 200 years. One thing the fair in noted for every year is the biggest pumpkin contest. Quote:

Why doesn't anybody rotate them when small and keep the stem vertical? It would be interesting to see what happens when full grown and not looking like a partially deflated MACY'S balloon.

Plant stems don't usually grow longer from the middle; it's the ends that grow. So once a pumpkin begins to grow, it's a fixed distance from the base of the vine. I would guess that if they let the stem be on top, it would lift the entire vine off the ground, and even risk uprooting it. Perhaps if they figured out the perfect hydroponic setup, or grew it in a movable pot.

They need to be growing these on the space station in microgravity.
Or here on earth in one of those vertical wind tunnels for skydiving simulation. |

Maybe the prize pool starts with a base amount and increases with donations, gate returns etc. Then the award amounts are set at 1500 for third, 3000 for second and 5000 *plus* overages from the other sources..
Like the fifty fifty raffle the prize amount isn't known at the start of the contest.

That would explain why second and third place get cash while first place gets a check.

Again, not a satisfying answer. I desperately want to believe this is some sort of weird backwoods, small-scale, money laundering project. |
