I coached this associate for five years. Now we have for the first time a baby.
She is his baby. The coach accepts the honors with the grower. You are looking at the first pumpkin over a thousand pounds ever grown in our part of Pennsylvania.
About a half dozen growers achieve this or a heavier one each year. The record here is just under fifteen hundred pounds while the world record is just under seventeen hundred pounds.
