1,600-Pound Giant Pumpkin Takes Top Prize at New England Contest [VIDEO]
At this year’s New England Pumpkin Growers Weigh-Off in Rhode Island, a boulder-sized monster pumpkin weighing in at more than 1,600 pounds took the top prize. Gourd almighty!
While gargantuan, the pumpkin missed setting the world record by only 150 pounds. Still, can you imagine all the pies it would make?
