A backyard in Short Pump turned out to be the perfect spot for the new Virginia state champion pumpkin to grow. Dustin Price’s giant pumpkin, sitting at 1,845 pounds, was certified at the Tennessee Valley Fair on Sept. 7.
“I am the official state champion,” Price said. “Most of the weigh-offs, including the State Fair of Virginia, are here in the next [week or so], I’m crossing my fingers that nobody beats my record. But, I beat [the former Virginia state record] by 300 pounds, so I feel pretty good.”
