2 of the great celebrations throughout the United States are about to arrive: Thanksgiving Day and Halloween; little by little, autumn has also been painting the landscapes with coppery tones among the dry leaves of the trees, the golden crops of the time and above all, by the traditional orange pumpkins.
Precisely about pumpkins, last weekend the Great Pumpkin Farm fall festival was held in Clarence, a suburb of Buffalo, New York, and a man named Scott Andrusz presented a pumpkin that, according to The Buffalo News, is broke the previous national record of 1,554.7 kilos (2,528 pounds) as hers weighed 1, 158.5 kilos (2,554 pounds).
The previous New York State record was 1,141.7 kilos (2,517 pounds), according to a press release.
Andrusz lives on a farm in the town of Williamsville and was the one who grew this huge pumpkin that is similar in dimensions to a compact car. At first, the man sought to break only the state record without imagining that he would also break the national one.
The Great Pumpkin Farm Fall Festival in Clarence has been going on for several decades now; it was in 1996 when the first pumpkin over 1,000 pounds was exhibited in 1996, entering it into the Guinness Book of Records.
If you want to see with your own eyes this great pumpkin that has set a brand in all of New York and the US, you have until today 000 of October to visit this festival.
