Dad gum GIhugic!

I’m completely mesmerized by the Kansas State Fair’s largest pumpkin. It was just announced that this year’s winner weighs 976.6 pounds. One onlooker says that’s “pretty dad gum big.” I don’t think that does it justice. I think it’s pretty dad gum gihugic.

Did they have to send a “wide load” vehicle with red lights and screaming sirens ahead of the truck that towed this pumpkin to the Fair?

What do you do with a pumpkin like that after it wins? It’s certainly not fitting into any trophy case I’ve ever seen. Seems like it would be a crime to turn it into a jack-o-lantern. Or maybe that’s a fitting end to something that’s really kind of scary already.

The Wichita Eagle has a nice story and video clip. Check it out here if you can’t make it to Hutch!
