Largest Idaho Pumpkin Record Squashed By Local Grower
Rick Maggi, who lives just south of Bonners Ferry attended a giant pumpkin weigh off north of Seattle on October 6, his entry weighed in at 1268 pounds with a circumference of over 14 feet. The weight of Maggi’s giant pumpkin surpassed the standing 1219 pound record held by Brett Brown of Peck Idaho. Maggi says this is the third time he has held the record in the past several years but expects his current record to be short lived, having heard that a southern Idaho man expects to weigh in a much larger (grown in a greenhouse) pumpkin in the next week. Maggi says records come and go, that’s all part of hobby.
