A huge pumpkin awaits transport in the back of a pickup while some of the growers admire it, including Dick Wallace, at left, Joe Jutras, of North Scituate, fourth from right, last year's World Record winner with his 1,689 pound pumpkin, Pete Rondeau, of Coventry, next to him, and Ron Wallace, of Coventry, far right, the 2006 World Record winner with his 1,502 pounder.

The Southern New England Giant Pumpkin Growers conduct their annual weigh-off at Frerichs Farm in Warren tomorrow.

Today, some of the contestants will be transporting their giant pumpkins to Warren. In a neighborhood off Hopkins Hill Rd. in Coventry, there are several contestants.
