PALMER, Alaska (KTUU) - Anchorage farmer Dale Marshall again won the giant pumpkin weigh-off at the Alaska State Fair in Palmer — this time setting a record for the largest pumpkin in state history.
Marshall’s giant gourd weighed in at 2,147.0 pounds, according to a Facebook post from the Alaska State Fair.
Marshall broke his own state record set in 2019 of 2,051 pounds. Marshall’s 2022 Alaska State Fair giant pumpkin title is his second straight after winning last year with a 1,603.5 pound pumpkin.
