27th annual World Pumpkin Weigh-off held at Great Pumpkin Farm

On Oct. 1, national and state records were broken for the largest pumpkin, which weighed in at 2,554 pounds. Local grower Scott Andrusz from Williamsville brought in his entry to the 27th annual World Pumpkin Weigh-off held at Great Pumpkin Farm.

The pumpkin will be on display through Oct. 16 at 11199 Main St., Clarence.

The Great Pumpkin Farm saw the first 1,000-pound pumpkin during its 1996 Fall Festival. That entry, at 1,061 pounds, went into the Guinness Book of World Records.
