Ohio grown pumpkin weighing more than 1,000 lbs wins at Circleville Pumpkin Show
Since 1996, there’s been an annual tradition here in Central Ohio of who can grow the largest pumpkin, which is then weighted and announced in front of a group of hundreds of people.
At this year’s Circleville Pumpkin show pumpkin weigh-in, Mike & Dusti Helberg came in first place with a pumpkin that weighed a whopping 1,972 pounds!
As a prize, the family was gifted $3,000.
