Giant Pumpkin Fest!

Rhode Island is the home of the world record giant pumpkin.
Apparently Mama and Papa go to the weigh-off every year, so I'm along for the ride.

This year “The Beast of the East” — weighed in at 1,568 pounds but was scandalously disqualified because it had a hole in the bottom and was losing a small amount of fluid. And the first prize ended up going to Joseph Jutras, of Scituate, who had a 1,507 pound pumpkin--breaking his own record from last year--1,502.

AWE-some tractor drivin'!

Farm life makes me pensive....

I'm so confused.....
How many other vegetables are bigger than me?

The finalists.
Gourds on the bottom are grown for length, not weight.

Live action tractor action. Where's the horn on this thing?
