The Truly Great Pumpkin!!!

Autumn arrives and with it comes a cornucopia, but pumpkins, real pumpkins! Utah oh, and maybe everywhere has a fascination with large pumpkins, and the Utah State Fair has a yearly contest. Usually these pumpkins are not so much pumpkin like, but rugged and gnarly, not the pumpkin of a Halloween doorstep. However, this one is a ~2000 lb chunk of punkin' perfection, grown in a hot house not by a farmer, but by a guy with a passion.
The kid who played Sally had some of the best line readings.

I see a pumpkin-based re-imagining of James and the Giant Peach in this guy's future. To be fair, if he tried to eat through this thing it'd probably be bland as hell; the smaller the pumpkin, the better the taste.

That is a pretty darned big pumpkin. Wow.
Also, I like that guy's attitude. Not trying to be the best, just trying to beat his personal best.
