Massachusetts man breaks Topsfield Fair giant pumpkin record
A Massachusetts man broke the Topsfield Fair’s giant pumpkin record with the size of his gourd, measured as part of the annual New England Giant Pumpkin Growers Contest. Jamie Graham of Tyngsborough had his pumpkin on top of the 2,480 pound scale. The previous record was 2,294.5 pounds, set by Alex Noel of Abington, Connecticut. The Salem News reports that Graham’s children named the monster pumpkin Bear Swipe. Graham has posted the pumpkin’s journey on social media channels including Instagram, YouTube and Tik Tok accounts. Graham won $6,500 for first place and received a $2,022 bonus for breaking the fair’s record, the Salem News reported. Noel came in second place in this year’s competition with a pumpkin that weighed 2,234 pounds. The New England Giant Pumpkin weigh-in began at the Topsfield Fair in 1984. That year, the winning pumpkin, grown by Wayne Hackney of New Milford, Connecticut, weighed 433 pounds.
