This spooky season, Associate Media Editor and Videographer, Daxton Comba, travels to Langley for the only certified Great Pumpkin Commonwealth (GPC) weigh off in the entire province, which takes place at Krause Berry Farms on October 3. Daxton speaks to several of the giant pumpkin and squash farmers on why they do it, how they got started, and the tough choices they face in growing the heaviest possible pumpkin. It seems that these mysterious orange squashes can take quite the hold on people's minds, and Daxton does not escape unscathed. Witness the congregation of giant pumpkins, and prepare yourself to see a new BC record breaking squash.
