Said to be the biggest pumpkin in the world, weighing in at 2,471 pounds, it has been on display at the King Gillette Ranch in Calabasas during the “Nights of The Jack” event. According to a prepared statement, the annual event was expected to draw more than 100,000 people from throughout Southern California.
The giant pumpkin was the 2024 World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off winner, and it was named Rudy “due to its small initial size.” The pumpkin seed that became Rudy was planted on April 20, 2024. After that Rudy put on an incredible 400 pounds each week, about 96 percent of it made up of water.
