Terry Russell of Little Rock, Ark., won the “Pea-Guessing” contest at the
Emerson PurpleHull Pea Festival Saturday.
The annual contest consists of a decorative jar full of purple hull pea seed. The person who comes closest to guessing the correct number of individual seeds wins $100.
This year there were 7,717 peas in the jar. Russell’s guess of 7,500 was closest.
