World's Largest Pumpkin is Grown in New England

Would you drive two-and-a-half hours to see a pumpkin? We did yesterday! Of course, this was no ordinary pumpkin: It was the largest pumpkin ever grown! I'll take you along to see this unprecedented "ton-kin" on the final day of the Topsfield Fair and tell you about the grower who made history this fall by winning the fair's Giant Pumpkin Contest with the first pumpkin to ever tip the scales at over one ton.
