Giant Cabbage Weigh-Off Limerick Contest – 2024
First Place – $75
JJ Weicker, Homer, AK
Secret Recipe for Cabbage Success
What’s it take to grow giants? In brief:
Alaska sunshine, cool rain, and belief
in the cabbage you tend—
its end weight will depend
on the love you put into each leaf.
Second Place – $50
AJ Jain, Wasilla, AK
Circle of Life
There once was a cabbage named Jed
Who dreamed of getting ahead
He sat in the sun
And had way too much fun
At least that’s what the moose who ate him said.
Third Place – $25
Kate Wasem, Missoula, MT
Ode to the Queen of Green
Oh cabbage, so round and so green,
A more beautiful thing I’ve ne’er seen,
I’ll meet you there,
At the Alaska State Fair,
Where we’ll crown our cabbagey queen!
