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
