Flat Stanley Visits Alaska Giant Cabbage Weigh-Off, Alaska State Fair People bring their flowers and vegetables, and especially their giant cabbages, to the Alaska State Fair, to be judged. Some of the biggest cabbages are grown by kids! This year, the biggest cabbage (85 pounds!) was grown by the smallest competitor: Brenna Dinkel, age 8, who only weighs 60 pounds. Her cabbage was bigger than she is! Her 12-year-old cousin, Seth Dinkel, took second place this year. He said it was because a moose chomped on his cabbage -- so he named it "Survivor." Seth has won the blue ribbon other years. The first time he won, he was 8 years old.
