A 1,723 pounder grown by Dale Marshall of Anchorage, "Patrick" was disqualified because of a hole in the bottom that went through to the core of the gourd. It will, however, be placed on view in the farm products display starting Thursday.

I suspect foul play. I think the pumpkin's possessed. Call out the MHI. :)
The size of a Smart car and slightly heavier, it says. That is, indeed, one Great Pumpkin.
(Note that the world record holder is from New Jersey. ;-O)
