WARREN, RI — A Coventry man may have grown the biggest pumpkin ever, according to reports.
"A record-breaking pumpkin weighed in this year at the annual Southern New England Giant Pumpkin Growers Weigh-Off on Saturday hosted by Frerich Farm," WJAR reported.
"The pumpkin weighed in at a whopping 3,156 pounds, which would make it the first recorded pumpkin to weigh more than 3,000 pounds," according to Boston 25.
"The pumpkin, which belongs to Coventry resident Ron Wallace, broke the previous world record by nearly 300 pounds, according to event scale weigher John Russo," a WPRI story said.
