A blue ribbon is happily displayed by Tailynn Friend, who earned the award at last week’s Garrett County Agriculture Fair for her impressive “squash-like fruit,” as the pumpkin is described on Wikipedia. The pumpkin weighed no fewer than 289 pounds.
Tailynn is one of hundreds of winning youngsters from last week’s event, the results of which will be reported in The Republican newspaper’s special Garrett County Fair supplement, to be published next week. The special pages will include the livestock sale report, multiple photographs, and lists of winners. Now if someone will simply carve out Tailynn’s pumpkin and attach it to a miniature pony, she will have transportation to her next ball. Photo by Danielle Friend.
