WORLD'S LARGEST PUMPKIN in 2007!
It's no surprise. The world record fell
again. And, it did so in a very H-U-G-E
way. Joe Jutras from North Scituate,
Rhode Island, brought a 1689 pound
pumpkin to the Topsfield Fair GPC
weigh-off in Topsfield, Ma. on September
29, 2007. His new world record beat the
previous world record by 187 pounds.
Last year's world record holder was Ron
Wallace with a 1502 pound pumpkin at the
Rhode Island Weighoff on October 7,
2006.
What an awesome
achievement!
Just how does a grower feel when you
break the world record by over 187
pounds!? Just see the picture below of
Joe Jutras, the new world record holder.
