Someone said you wanted more pumpkins…What? You don’t? WELL TOO BAD.

This big boy is Lillier! He is last year’s prize winning pumpkin!

He acts vapid, but he’s got a generous heart and he’s very good at capitalizing on the not inconsiderable fame he has won through the contest. He uses his cut of profits to give back to the small community farming village that pooled its resources to grow him. He does a lot of fund raising with the agri-buisnesses that sponsor the Wide Open and the pumpkin festival itself. He can be very spoiled and a little lazy when he’s in a bad mood, but most pumpkins are! He does have the dubious distinction of being able to pack away a ridiculous amount of food in a sitting…he’s not particularly proud of it, but he can out-eat anyone at the charity blueberry pie eating contest each year, so that’s a plus!

Lili is Pom’s weight gain idol for sure. At 1330 pounds and 6 feet tall, he was the heaviest contestant per foot on record. He loves chocolate, champagne, fashion, Audrey Hepburn and being pampered, almost as much as he loves his little village <3
