HALF MOON BAY, Calif. - A retired Washington state firefighter who grows giant pumpkins in his spare time produced the winning pumpkin Monday at the 31st annual Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off.

The pumpkin, grown by 55-year old Joel Holland of Puyallup, Wash., tipped the scales at 1,229 pounds -- 49 pounds heavier than last year's winner. Its circumference was 13 feet, 7 inches.

Holland wins $5 for each winning pound of pumpkin - a total of $6,145 - and both he and the pumpkin will be the lead attractions at the Half Moon Bay Art and Pumpkin Festival this weekend.
