Here is a great story about a guy who is paddling a 760 lb pumpkin through water for charity. On the link there is a video of not only him taking this thing out in the water, but of him carving it out. I wonder, just where you get such a large pumpkin, and what gives you the idea to make a boat out of it. Some may say he's out of his gourd, but he's doing good deeds with it.
Giant pumpkin festival every year.

Last year's winner was 1,524.5 pounds!
Buddy of mines Grandfather use to grow extremely large pumpkins. I normally called them giant, but i dont think they ever came close to 1500lbs. But they were still good sized. Took 3 men to move some of them. I think there was even one that got left in the garden because no one could move it. Needless to say, my buddy always had the best jack-o-lanterns. :D
