A pumpkin named after basketball legend Michael Jordan weighed 2,749 pounds, set a world record and won the World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-off in Half Moon Bay.
Travis Gienger stood on the stage smiling and dressed in an orange jacket as an enormous blob of a pumpkin lay flat on a scale in front of him. Officials had just given the ginormous gourd the greenlight to be weighed Monday at the 50th World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-off in Half Moon Bay, Calif., considered the Super Bowl of competitive pumpkin-growing. “Wow!” an announcer said. “I’ve never seen anything like that. That’s amazing.” Gienger, of Anoka, Minn., shifted on his feet.
Though he’d been contacted by various weigh-offs this past season, Gienger said he had his sights set on Half Moon Bay, not just because of its Super Bowl status, but because his daughter Lily took her first steps there a year prior. Gienger began growing this year’s pumpkin in April from an Atlantic Giant seed. He does not use a climate-controlled greenhouse and instead grows right in his backyard, he said.
