Please contact us if we can help assist with your coverage arrangements. We can help to set up advance interviews and story shoots with growers if you plan to send staff to cover the Weigh-Off. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Planning Notes:
For the early 5-7am news (prior to the actual weighing on Monday, Oct. 9), we'll have several returning champions and top contenders at the Weigh-Off site from 5-7am with pumpkins in tow for early, pre-weighing interviews. Another option would be to set up a segment with a grower tending their patch in the weeks/days leading up to the Weigh-Off.
Press parking will be available adjacent the weigh-off staging area for easy access. We have designated space for satellite trucks and broadcast vehicles with assistance from event staff.
