The largest pumpkin in Canada has been grown for a second year in a row in the City of Kawartha Lakes.
This year's pumpkin weighed in at 1814 lbs.
Phil Hunt has been growing pumpkins for 30 years and this year, the pumpkin has been determined to be the largest pumpkin in the country.
Phil and wife Jane set up an annual display on their front yard and Hunt says growing is a great hobby for families and the pumpkins bring the community together this time of year.
You can see the pumpkin, along with another large one at his home on Highway 35 north of the community of Cameron.
