Casper - The White Pumpkin

483 Baker 2015

Dean Baker brought "Casper",  his white pumpkin, to the weigh-off. Many thought it would be the heaviest pumpkin at the show. The 483 Baker 2015 (1666 Holland '13 x 1622 Young '09) was larger than the old Arizona record, but was three pounds lighter than the winning pumpkin.  The odd-shaped pumpkin made it hard to estimate its actual weight.

Dean was pleased he could share the day with his grandchildren.  He says they are the real reason he grows giant pumpkins.  "It's the only thing I do that might impress them."
