|  | 1458 Pounds. This pumpkin from New Hampshire grown by Bruce Whittier was a pending record at 1458 pounds. Unfortunately it developed a small hole and eventually a split along one of the ribs which disqualified it from official records. It remains however, the heaviest pumpkin ever weighed. |
| | Paddle your pumpkin! Some of the bigger pumpkins can be hollowed out and paddled like a kayak or canoe. It should revolutionize the transportation industry!! It's recommended they be at least 600 pounds for this. |
| This youngster may well be a future champion |
| | Baby, that's a big one! |
| | Big ones at Smoky Lake |
| Wilbur...that's the pumpkin, not the grower! |
| | Ernie Pearce from Moose Jaw, Sask, with "Wilbur"
Ernie also grows giant tomatoes. |
| | A new record from Smoky Lake Master pumpkin grower Don Crews from Lloydminster, Alberta came in with the new Alberta record in 2006 with this monster...1029 pounds!
Not only that, he also had the Grand Slam...the biggest squash and the biggest watermelon!!!! |
