Author: cute

It is almost Halloween and pumpkins are in demand. How big will you like your pumpkin be? Do you want a giant pumpkin head on your porch? Below are few of the biggest pumpkins the world has ever seen.

Joe Jutras, of North Scituate, prepares to fit his pumpkin into a gathering strap during the annual New England Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off at the Topsfield Fair, Sept. 29, 2007, in Topsfield, Massachusetts. The giant pumpkin set a world record, weighing in at the fair at 1,689 pounds.

Jackson Township resident Christy Harp shows off her world-record 1,725-pound Atlantic giant pumpkin on in Jackson Township, Ohio. Harp took first place at the Ohio Valley Giant Pumpkin Growers annual weigh-off in October 2009. She won $2,500 and could claim the world title. Contest organizers say the entry topped the 1,689-pound record-holder.
