Ned at Drum Off 2010

This is our cousin Ned having way to much fun! He sent me this email and I thought I would pass it on. We've got talent, yes we do! Well, OK, all the old family reunions were graced by the "Smith Family Band" but that counts for the Bairds dosen't it.

Rock on Ned! Or as the teens would say, "That's totally sick"!

Yes Matt IS the PUMPKIN King!

It was a crazy day at the weigh off!

All the pumpkins were lined up to be viewed and weighed.

When Matt's pumpkin came up for it's turn, we held our breath. They placed it on the scale and kept the weight hidden until it stabilized. When they uncovered the number and showed the scale tipping at a whopping 1169 lbs, beating the state record, we all went CRAZY!!!

Next, they weighed the pumpkin that was measuring to likely win, the feeling was tense. I thought it was only the McConkie clan, but I looked around at all the people, everyone was momentarily silent. Then, they uncovered the scale, the silence broke and the crowd went crazy!

It was almost mass hysteria!

WE WENT CRAZY!! We couldn't believe he had WON! We were screaming, we were laughing, we were crying. It was great! People were practically mobbing Matt to shake his hand and get a picture.

Couldn't have been better.

Thanks for the fun Matt!

Here's the beautiful orange blob itself!

Matt will be Plopping the Pumpkin from a big crane the first part of November. That will be a sight! I suggest....Wear your poncho!
