Pumpkin Show and Tell 1
Tony Dighera is a farmer in Fillmore, California, and he figured out a way to grow pumpkins in a mold that makes them look just like Frankenstein’s monster. They’re tall, narrow, and have the monster face molded right into them.
It took him four years and $500,000 to get these pumpkins right. They’re sold out on his website right now but grocery stores around the world are importing them . . . if your grocery store has them, expect to pay at least $100 each.
Tony is working on a new mold now for pumpkins that look like a Jolly Roger-type pirate . . . those will be on sale next Halloween.

At a pumpkin weigh-off yesterday in California, a farmer had a pumpkin that weighed in at 2,058 pounds. According to the “Guinness Book of World Records”, the heaviest pumpkin in history weighed in at 2,032 pounds . . . so once this pumpkin is verified, it should go into the record books.
