Giant Vegetable Competition 2004 courtesy of ShopALASKAfromHome


Each fall at the Alaska State Fair in Palmer, Alaska, there is a competition for the largest vegetables from around the state. During the summer, Alaska's long daylight hours do strange things to vegetables. They grow, and grow, and grow. Click here for 2006 pictures

Here are pictures of some of the winners of 2004 Those are giant turnips on the white stand. Notice the 2.4 lb tomato with the first place blue ribbon and check out the 2 lb giant carrot in front of the giant potato, bottom center.

Let's take a closer look at the zucchini. The first place blue ribbon winner is 24.314 lbs; the second place red ribbon winner came in at 17.043 lbs.

Big veggies all over the place. Notice the 63.95 lb head of cabbage, the giant lettuce, sunflower plants, squash, and notice the giant cucumbers in the bottom right.

And the grand-daddy of them all, a 707 lb pumpkin ! !

		Gives the salad bar a whole new meaning, doesn't it?
