The
world record (North America) for heaviest pumpkin has been smashed once
again! Last year,Guinness World Records crowned Tim Mathison, Napa,
California,with the record for his 2032 pound pumpkin.This year's gourd ,
grown by John Hawkley, was weighed at a
pumpkin contest in California. It tipped the scales at 2058 pounds!
That's the size of a small car. Amazingly, Hawkley also had another
pumpkin that was over 2000 pounds(that's ONE ton!).
