Travis Gienger of Anoka, Minnesota won this year’s championship pumpkin weigh-off in Half Moon Bay, California. He hauled in a pumpkin that weighed 2,560 pounds. That breaks the U.S. record. The world record still belongs to Italian grower Stefano Cutripi, whose 2,703-pound pumpkin won the European Pumpkin Weighing Championship in Ludwigsburg Germany in 2021.
