The summer’s lack of sunshine and abundance of rain made for smaller entries in contests that might not be giant pumpkins or cabbages but still managed to produce a 10 1/2-foot-long gourd and a 3-pound tomato.
A prize-winning carrot, weighing 2.298 pounds, sits on display among other first and second-place vegetables at the Alaska State Fair in Palmer on Thursday, Aug. 31, 2023.
Debbie Hinchey, a volunteer judge for tree fruits, talks with fairgoers while organizing apple entries.

An ear of corn placed first with a length of 9 1/8 inches at the Alaska State Fair in Palmer. Behind are stalks of prize-winning rhubarb. “It’s amazing to see what all this rain and sunshine, when you actually have it, can do,” Markowitz said.“Dude, look at that leek!” said one, only to be corrected by his friend that the “leek” was in fact a nearly 10 1/2-foot-long gourd. “This is insane ... I’ve never seen something like this before.
