A Minnesota teacher set the new U.S. record on Monday at the 49th World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off, presenting a massive gourd that weighed 2,560 pounds.
Minnesota horticulture teacher, Travis Gienger, drove with the pumpkin for 35 hours and won the same contest two years ago. Julia Musto is a reporter for Fox News and Fox Business Digital.
"Minnesota has a great midyear, but our spring in our parts is really, really tough. So to do it in Minnesota, it just shouldn’t happen," he told The Associated Press. "It’s like winning the Tour de France on a big wheel. You know, you can only hope, but it worked."
