Now that’s one giant pumpkin

Tim Goodwin / Insider staffWe have all dreams, and one of ours is to grow an award-winning giant pumpkin. Unfortunately, ours wasn’t quite competition worthy this year. But Parker Larocque, grandson of Carter Hill Orchard owners Rob and Annette Larocque and son of orchard manager Todd Larocque, showed us how it’s done. Parker grew a gourd that weighed 161 pounds and took home first place in the youth pumpkin growing competition at the Hopkinton State Fair and a cool $50. Nice job, Parker!
