It's the 2nd Annual Harvest Fest in Stillwater, Minn. The event celebrates the bounty of autumn. Nowhere is that more evident than the massive gourdes grown for the pumpkin weigh-off.
These gigantic pumpkins weigh more than 1,000 pounds. But the fun didn't stop with the weigh-ins. After that, it was time to smash one of them. Perk then got the honor of pulling the trigger, which released a 1,300 pound behemoth from 100 feet in the sky.
