Giant pumpkins battle for heavyweight glory and the world record in California
Giant Pumpkin Contest Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved Giant pumpkin growers and their massive gourds will converge on Monday in Northern California for an annual pumpkin-weighing contest, competing for the top prize and a chance to challenge the world record set just last week in England . At least 30 growers of giant pumpkins have signed up for the 53rd World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in Half Moon Bay, south of San Francisco , said event spokesman Ronan Fowler. Among the participants is four-time champion Travis Gienger, a horticulture teacher from Minnesota , whose winning streak ended last year after he was unable to participate because his pumpkin broke while it was still growing. Gienger, who this year had to deal with temperatures that dipped below freezing, grew a pumpkin whose circumference is so big it could be a world record contender, Fowler said. Fowler said last week that Gienger and his father would take turns driving 30 hours over the weekend to get the pumpkin the size of a small car to California. The new world record was set by Ian Paton, of Lymington, on England's south coast, with a giant squash weighing 2,857 pounds (1,296 kilograms).
