Roland, Manitoba - World's Largest Pumpkin

Home of the Huge Pumpkin and annual Pumpkin Festival, also Home of the 4H Club, where it originated -- 4H Museum. Edgar Van Wykes's record pumpkin was 570 pounds (I spoke to his son a few days ago). This was huge at that time. Records of over 1,000 lbs are now common, but not in his time. [V. Hiebert, 01/20/2004]
