Good morning from beautiful downtown Elkin! We are coming to you from the Yadkin Valley Pumpkin Festival. The first order of business will be the annual Great Pumpkin Weigh-Off. Pumpkins from growers all over the East Coast hit the scales to see which one takes home the $1,000 first prize. Previous winners have weighed in at more than 1,500 pounds. It is considered one of the most famous pumpkin contests east of the Mississippi. For the last several years, the Rhododendron Queens have had the honor of assisting with the weigh in. Stay tuned to see which pumpkin takes the prize.
