A man from Pennsylvania won an annual pumpkin contest in Ohio with a gourd that weighed a total of 2,405 pounds.
how Erik Gunstrom of Harrison City in Westmoreland County spent 30 hours a week tending to the pumpkin over the past month leading up to Wednesday’s Barnesville Pumpkin Festival in Ohio.
All that tender love and care certainly paid off, as the rotund, orange globe grew to such size that it clocked in at a weight of 2,405 pounds and was thus crowned 2022′s “King Pumpkin.”how Gunstrom’s pumpkin broke even the record set by last year’s King Pumpkin which weighed 2,195 pounds. “It’s just something we enjoy doing as a family,” tells Gunstrom of attending the festival to the Intelligencer.
The Barnesville Pumpkin Festival dates back to 1964 with the first-ever winning pumpkin weighing a slight—in comparison to these big boys—72 pounds., the heaviest pumpkin the world has ever seen was grown by a Tuscan farmer named Stefano Cutrupi in Italy. This particular pumpkin grew to weigh about 2,702 pounds, which is “heavier than a Nissan Micra car, or about the same was 17.5 adult men.”
“I felt incredible emotions from the moment I saw the pumpkin arrive on the truck,” told Emanuele Garofano, a judge who certified the pumpkin, to Guinness. “In reality, no one really knows the weight of a pumpkin until it is certified on the scale, but seeing the size of that pumpkin and touching it, I immediately felt a shiver inside me.
