This Record-Breaking Pumpkin Weighs 2,560 Pounds

This is one massive beast. Travis Gienger, a farmer from Minnesota, just broke the North American record for the largest pumpkin. He was crowned champ at the 50th Annual Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival held in Half Moon Bay, California. Travis drove his gourd 35 hours to attend the event, where he was clearly up against some hefty competition. The horticulture teacher also won the prize in 2020. Inside Ediiton Digital has more.

What do you do with a pumpkin that large? Is it edible? I think a professional pumpkin carver needs to create a piece of art on that beast! 🎃🧡

@@ballsniffer6924 It's the largest pumpkin in the United States. Not the world. Italy had the largest according to Guinness.
They should do something with it. It's eventually going to rot.
Either carve it or make a gazillion pies! 🎃🥧🤣

They need to check the inside for fillets or weights just to make sure.

A pumpkin weighing 1,226 kg (2,702 lb 13.9 oz) was grown by Stefano Cutrupi (Italy) from Radda in Chianti, Tuscany, Italy, as ratified by the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth. It was weighed at the 10th Campionato della Zuccone pumpkin festival held in Peccioli, Italy, on 26 September 2021.
So 142 pounds under the World Record Pumpkin

I am not a fan of pumpkin pie. I like lemon, rhubarb/cherry /blueberry, or apple. Anything but pumpkin. But I love Morro Bay. They have neat sea otters and other creatures. I think Tuscany Region is beautiful in Italy too. Been there twice. In the 1970s.
