This year’s champion pumpkin grower was last year’s champ, too

The biggest pumpkin at the year’s pumpkin weigh-off was brought in by the guy that won last year.  Joel Holland of Puyallup, Washington won with a 1,229-pound pumpkin, exactly matching his record-setting weight last year, according to the Daily Journal. Holland has now won five times since 1992.

Eda Muller was this year’s Coastside champ with a 665-pounder. She won last year’s local honors as well.

The winner is on display in front of the I.D.E.S. on Main Street in Half Moon Bay.
