Richard Wallace looked stunned as the crowd around him jumped for joy when his son Ron announced on the loud speaker that Wallace's giant pumpkin weighed in at 2261.5 pounds at Frerichs Farm's Pumpkin Weight-Off on Saturday afternoon. It was announced that the pumpkin's weight was a new world record. The crowd quickly surrounded Wallace and his wife Cathy as they posed for photos with the giant pumpkin. Both Wallace's are renown for their pumpkin growing and have both won this event multiple times.
