Prize Pumpkin Tips Scale at 1,085 Pounds Oct 6, 5:59 PM (ET) MILTON, W.Va. (AP) - 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. "They told me I shouldn't have grown it so big," Ron Boor said. Boor and his wife raised the pumpkin in Tyler County, a three-hour drive from Milton. The 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. "Our goal was originally to raise a 1,000-pound pumpkin, but now that we've done that, we just have to shoot higher," Sue Boor said. 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.

Lets see the neighborhood little B******s pick that up and smash it in the street! My neighbor has two pumpkins this year that are probably 100 pounds or so.
