The new record to beat is 1,101 pounds in the giant pumpkin contest at the Alaska State Fair.On Wednesday
, Dale Marshall of Anchorage beat the old state record of 1,019 pounds, set in 2006 ...
At 2:30 in the afternoon, a crowd gathered around a small crane outside the barn at the fair. The crane had a scale on it, and lifted up the huge pumpkin, which was attached by a metal contraption and ropes.

... that's a whole lotta pie. :)
Reminds me of going to the fair when I was a kid. Was he able to grow it because of your extended daylight?
DR - The soil in the Mat-Su Valley, a combination of glacial silt & volcanic ash, combined with 23 hours of daylight, produces 700 lb. cabbages, too. The growing season here is only about 100 days long, but the veggies get BIG.
Now you got me craving cabbage soup.
