Clint Nash Wins His 1st UGPG Weigh-off!
After years of growing giant pumpkins, Clint Nash pulled out a big win at the first annual Gateway Pumpkin Palooza in Salt Lake City. Clint's previous best was 3rd place at the Hee Haw Farms weigh-off in 2021 where he came in 3rd with a 1258 pound pumpkin.
Clint's pumpkin, grown from the 1905 Sadiq seed, came in nearly 15% over estimate. Clint brought his first pumpkin to a UGPG weigh-off in 2007 and the pumpkin weighed in at 174 pounds. You've come a long way, baby! Congratulations to Clint on a palooza of a pumpkin season!!
