Mapua 2011 – New NZ Record

The Mapua competition was held at the Mapua Tavern yesterday, which is near Nelson.

I had heard a few things that this was a competition to watch, and from what I have been told, and what I have seen, it didn’t disappoint.  The heaviest weighing in at 497kg’s which makes it a new NZ record.  Keep an eye on the media, who will be talking about this monster effort.

Congratulations to John with this awesome pumpkin


Here are some more awesome photos from this event.

More photos and information will be coming later, when it does I will add it … Read the rest
