Defending champion Leonardo Urena of Napa obliterated the competition at last year’s Half Moon Bay weigh-off with his ungodly 1,704-pound Atlantic Giant that set a new California record.

Superstar gourd-growing greats and their Volkswagen-sized orange orbs gather on the morning of Monday, Oct. 8 for the 39th Annual Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off. The grand champion mega-gourd and the top five pumpkins from the weigh-off will be on display at the Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival on Oct. 13-14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
