Meet the Pumpkin King
Brandon Dawson's prize-winning pumpkin weighs 2,346 pounds, as much as a bison.
Dawson, an electrical vehicle engineer, won the top prize at the Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in Half Moon Bay, California.
- The annual event is likened to the Super Bowl of pumpkin growing.
- In 2023, Travis Gienger broke the Guinness Book of World Records with a 2,749-pound pumpkin.
That's about the weight of a bison or small sedan!
Dawson started growing massive pumpkins as a hobby five years ago.
