Breaking the world record pumpkin weight has become an annual event. So, it's no surprise to learn that the record was indeed broken again this year. What is a surprise, was the weight, a record smashing 1810.5 pounds!
Chris Stevens of New Richmond, Wi. brought his 1810.5 pound pumpkin, to the Stillwater Harvest fest in Stillwater, Minnesota, on October 9, 2010.
The 2009 world record breaker was Christy Harp with a 1,725 pound pumpkin. The new world record beat it by a whopping 85 pounds!
After a one year respite, the annual event of breaking the world record weight for giant pumpkins was renewed.
Christy Harp brought a 1,725 pound pumpkin to the Ohio Valley Giant Pumpkin Growers (OVGPG) Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off on Saturday, October 3, 2009.
Cristy's new world record pumpkin, beat the previous record of 1689 pounds in 2007, held by Joe Jutras from North Scituate, Rhode Island.
COMMENTARY: That's what I call a fucking huge pumpkin.
