Pumpkin Weighs in at 1,725 Pounds


Christy Harp, a teacher of Jackson Township, is the winner in a pumpkin-growing contest.
Her big pumpkin weighed in at 1,725 pounds at the Ohio Valley Giant Pumpkin Growers annual weigh-off.
She won $2,500 and could claim the world title.
Contest organizers say the entry topped the 1,689-pound record-holder grown in 2007.

For all you pumpkin growers, the seeds from Harp's winning pumpkin will be dried and given to anyone who asks.
