Arnold, CA — The second annual Calaveras Pinecone competition was held on Sunday in Arnold.
The event, with playful aspects, aims to educate attendees about the interesting world of sugar pinecones. They are a common sight in the Sierra Nevada and among the longest pinecones on the planet. They are lengthy and slender and can sometimes reach over 22 inches long.
Competition coordinator Marlaine Cover of Arnold reports that 13 contestants were officially registered for this year’s event held at the Sequoia Woods Country Club.
John Sproull of Arnold brought the winning pinecone that was 22.75 inches, which Cover says was just 0.15 inches shy of breaking the Guinness World Record. Sproull found it about a mile from White Pines Lake.
