An Aurora firefighter’s side hobby resulted in a state record after he grew a 1,955-pound pumpkin in his backyard.
Brad Bledsoe began his knack for growing pumpkins four years ago when he grew, what he thought was, a large pumpkin. After growing his first pumpkin in his home just north of Fort Collins, he took the 200-pound pumpkin to a contest, which turned out to be one of the smallest ones there.
