Cheyenne pumpkin-growing couple breaks Wyoming state record again — but stopping may be impossible
CHEYENNE — By day, Andy Corbin is the chief information officer at Laramie County Community College. Off the clock, he spends at least an hour every day tending to his pumpkin patch with his wife, Amy. The couple hauls five-gallon buckets of soil to bury their pumpkin vines, positioning and watering them to encourage additional root growth — a key technique the Corbins use to consistently break Wyoming’s record for heaviest pumpkin. This week marks the fourth consecutive time they have done so, though Corbin said they have set other records within the 15 years he has been growing competitively. Weighing in at 2,224 pounds at the 2026 Annual Pumpkin Weigh-off at Fort Collins Nursery, the Corbins’ record-breaking pumpkin has also earned them a spot in the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth’s 2,200-Pound Club, an honor achieved by fewer than 50 growers. Corbin said he began growing pumpkins after a grower whose family was involved with his daughters’ soccer team gave him a seed and told him the county record was 500 pounds. It was enough to send him spiraling into a competitive pumpkin frenzy. Using his knowledge in IT, he built a nationally recognized genetic database to help fellow growers trace

Local economist: Economic growth boosts Wyoming revenue but strains household budgets
CHEYENNE — While Cheyenne’s economic growth is creating new jobs and generating additional revenue, rising fuel prices, housing costs and borrowing rates are putting pressure on households. Dan McIntosh, director of the Wyoming Center for Business and Economic Analysis at Laramie County Community College, spoke about the issue at a Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce breakfast at Little America Hotel and Resort on Friday. McIntosh began by comparing the economy to an airplane. He said airplanes have two engines, but they only need one to fly. For the economy, one engine represents economic growth, and the other represents household finances. “One engine is currently getting all the fuel,” McIntosh said. “And that’s the growth into our economy. … The other engine, that’s the household engine that’s paying the fuel prices at the pump, that’s paying the mortgage rate on the house. We need both of those engines healthy to have a healthy economy.” Rising costs strain households Oil prices have risen well above what forecasters expected a year ago, McIntosh said. They sit at approximately $97 per barrel — nearly double the $55 assumed in the state budget. Higher oil prices benefit Wyoming through increased energy revenue, but they also
