Prize Pumpkin Tips Scale At 1,085 Pounds

POSTED: 10:40 am PDT October 7, 2005

MILTON, W.Va. -- It took five men and a forklift to get Ron and Sue Boor's prize pumpkin onto the scale at the West Virginia Pumpkin Festival.

The verdict: 1,085 pounds, a record for the event.

The Boors have toiled in their pumpkin patch since May. The couple installed an irrigation system and shade tent, attended gardening seminars and watered pumpkins endlessly.

At the prize pumpkin's peak growth, it grew about 35 pounds a night and consumed about 200 gallons of water per day.

"I say it's worse than raising a baby," Sue Boor said.

The Boors have raised large pumpkins since 1990. Their previous record was 710 pounds.

The festival's 10 largest pumpkins will be auctioned Sunday, with proceeds benefiting local scholarships. The Boors' pumpkin will be carved into a jack-o'-lantern and delivered to the winning bidder. Its seeds will sell for about $25 each

I can't believe the pumpkin got so big!
