Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off

Anoka’s own Travis Gienger, famously known as the Pumpkin King, had an absolutely jaw-dropping victory at this year’s Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off with a colossal 2,389-pound gourd. Kelli Hanson visited his home to get an up-close look at the magnificent giant before it was loaded onto a trailer and hauled all the way to California for the big event.
