The Maple Leaf neighborhood has its own great pumpkin: Jack
Skellington! He’s no new kid – he and his predecessors have been around for several
years. I first heard about Jack in 2022 when he and his neighbor pumpkin made a big splash on local TV. The grower, who got interested in big pumpkins during the pandemic, has
been growing them bigger and bigger ever since, and she is now part of a
pumpkin seed business.
I’ve been checking out Jack every year since (here he is last year). This year I had just heard about his competitive weigh-in, so I popped over to take a look. Weighing in at a whopping 774 pounds, Jack took third place in the local competition. I’ll visit again later when he gets carved for Halloween festivities.
