Good evening, Pumpkinistas!
It was bound to happen sooner or later! Christy Harp, a teacher in Massilon, Ohio, set a new world record of 1,725 pounds last Saturday, October 3rd!
Joe Sabol was kind enough to e-mail me this link of the weigh-off and Ms. Harp's triumphant effort:

We'll see if her world record stands after October 25th!
