2020 Weigh Off Results - Thanksgiving Point
Dr. Sadiq Wins His 2nd Utah Weigh-Off 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 was estimating just over 1700 pounds and came in 7% above estimate to seal the victory. 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, grown from the 1911 Wolf seed, beat his personal best grown just last year by more than 400 pounds. Sadiq has been growing pumpkins for 11 years. He brought his first pumpkin to a UGPG wiegh-off in 2010 and it weighed in at 593 lbs. Congratulations to Dr. Sadiq on his weigh-off win at Thanksgiving Point!!
