Matt McConkie Sets New Utah State Record of 1731 Pounds
Despite the heavy rain, the crowd was energized with excitement as the final pumpkin belonging to Matt McConkie was lifted onto the scale at the 2014 UGPG weigh-off at Thanksgiving Point.
Matt's pumpkin, grown from the 1985 Miller seed, smashed his previous state record by 131 pounds and came in 10% heavy to top it off. "Weigh" to go Matt. Congratulations on another successful pumpkin and your 3rd Utah State Record!!
