In the months leading up to this momentous competition, contestants have prepared their pumpkins well!
John Hawkley, this year’s winner pictured above, won with a pumpkin that clocked in at a grand sum total of 2,058 pounds! That’s a North American record! Talk about squashing the competition!
As a result, he’ll be receiving a check for $12,348, and, of course, bragging rights.
