Winners of the 2009 Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off at Hensler’s
Updated: Photos from the 2009 Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off have been posted!
We would like to thank the Indiana Pumpkin Growers Association for participating in the weigh-off we hosted at Hensler’s on September 27th. The giant gourds they brought to the competition were delightfully monstrous, and we are so impressed with the collective talent of the group.
Christy Harp, the winner of our competition, also took the top spot at Ohio Valley Giant Pumpkin Growers weigh-off. Not only was her 1725 pound entry the indisputable champion, Christy now also holds the world record for the growing the largest pumpkin!
