    The Pumpkin Festival celebrating everything about this round, orange gourd had a headline-making Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off this year.

    For 57 years, the festival has seen some hefty pumpkins, but the largest this year was one grown by Jeff Theil of Dillonvale, Ohio. Coming in at 2,195 pounds at the weigh-off on September 29, the pumpkin broke a state record set in 2017 by 45 pounds

    They are, however, deemed inedible by humans and are usually fed to livestock if they are not directly composted or sent to the dump/landfill.
