1,704-Lb. Pumpkin Outside City Hall
Head downtown for an up-close look at the prizewinning gourd.
Leonardo Urena's prizewinning — certainly the "it girl" of the fall season since it broke the California state record on Monday — is on display today in its full glory outside Half Moon Bay City Hall (Kelly St. side).
Urena was by the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth for growing three giant pumpkins in 2011 weighing a record total of nearly 5,000 lbs.
If you want a good look the pumpkin before tomorrow's festival crowds — head on down there now for your photo op.
