This Massachusetts man grew the largest pumpkin in North America
Steve Connolly has been growing pumpkins for 26 years, dreaming of one that might break the record books. This year, he finally did it.
At 2,075.5 pounds, Connolly’s giant pumpkin was the largest in North America this year and the second largest in the world, reports The Patriot Ledger.
The heavy gourd won first place in the 32nd All New England Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off at the Topsfield Fair. Connolly, 61, lives in Sharon.
“I’m still on cloud nine right now,” Connolly told the Ledger. “It still hasn’t settled in yet.”
The massive pumpkin will be on display at the Topsfield Fair through Sunday.
