Meet the Pumpkin King
A 2,346 pound gourd has taken the top prize at the Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in Half Moon Bay, California.
Brandon Dawson, an electrical vehicle engineer, won the competition with his massive pumpkin, which weighs as much as a bison or small sedan.
The annual pumpkin weighing contest has been likened to the Super Bowl of pumpkin growing.
- In past years, the event has seen record-breaking gourds, including a 2,749-pound pumpkin by Travis Gienger in 2023.
- Dawson started growing massive pumpkins five years ago as a hobby.
Dawson's prize-winning pumpkin is a significant achievement, especially after narrowly missing the title last year.
Author's summary: Prize-winning pumpkin weighs 2,346 pounds.
