BANGOR, Wash. (AP) - Mark Murphy thinks the pumpkin he's been growing at his home near Bangor will weigh more than 1,100 pounds.
That would weigh about 300 pounds more than his best big gourd previously. And it could win one of the cash prizes Saturday when the Pacific Northwest Giant Pumpkin Growers hold their weigh-off at Central Market in Shoreline, just north of Seattle.
The Kitsap Sun reports Murphy and his partner Sunshine Ruiz keep their pumpkin warm and feed it a soup made from fish heads, molasses and gypsum.
