🎉 Andrew Israelsen's 919 Wins the 2009 UGPG Weigh Off!
Andrew Israelsen won the 2009 Utah Giant Pumpkin Growers weigh off with a 919 pound pumpkin. Andrew's pumpkin was not his personal best, but it was large enough to take top honors this year. After placing 3rd in 2008, 2nd in 2007, and losing a pumpkin over 1000 lbs. to a split, he was excited to get his first UGPG win. The pumpkin was grown off the 948 Israelsen 2007 seed. Andrew is a veteran grower and brought his first pumpkin to a Utah weigh-off in 1999 (weighing in at 155 lbs). Clearly hard work and experience pays off. Congratulations Andrew.
