Travis Gienger's Rhino Gourd weighed in at a staggering 2,560 pounds on Monday, beating the North American record set just last week in a pumpkin weigh-off in Clarence, New York."To create a new North American largest pumpkin is just incredible," Gienger said shortly after his announced win.Though his eye was set for the coveted international record, Gienger already has a world record under his belt - in 2020, he earned a Guinness World Record for carving a jack-o'-lantern from his 2,350-pound pumpkin, which also won the Half Moon Bay competition and broke national records."I want to thank all the growers, because the bar keeps getting raised and that wouldn't happen without the work they do," Gienger said, adding shout out to the event staff for hosting the competition.The gourd-themed festivities don't end there, however --the event's sister celebration, the Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival, is also returning on Oct. 15 and 16 for its 50th anniversary, after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic."
