Dr. Sadiq Wins With a 1825 lb Personal Best!
The "socially distanced" crowd went wild when Mohamed Sadiq won the 2020 Utah Giant Pumpkin Grower weigh off at Thanksgiving Point with a jaw dropping pumpkin. This solid pumpkin tipped the scales at 1825 pounds, coming in 7% above estimate.
It's the largest pumpkin in Utah to be grown outside of a greenhouse and the 2nd largest ever grown in the state. Sadiq's pumpkin beat his personal best grown just last year by more than 400 pounds.
Congratulations to Dr. Sadiq on his weigh-off win at Thanksgiving Point!
