- Example 1: 2,560-Pound Pumpkin Sets New American Record At Half Moon Bay Competition

1. Event/Newsworthy Event (Kejadian inti)

October is pumpkin season in America. For most people, this means eating delicious pumpkin-filled treats or visiting pumpkin patches to pick out the perfect fruit for Halloween.

But for pumpkin farmers, it is a chance to showcase their giant produce at pumpkin weigh-offs. Though various such contests are held countrywide, the "Super Bowl" of pumpkin weigh-offs takes place in Half Moon Bay, CA.

The competition, which marked its 49th year on October 10, 2022, has always been popular with master pumpkin growers.

However, it has become even more so since the top prize was increased to $30,000 in 2015. To claim the "World Record Prize," contestants must submit a "World Record Pumpkin."

This year, that meant a gourd heavier than the massive 2,703-pound pumpkin that set a new world record in Italy in late September 2021. If the heaviest pumpkin weighs less, the owner receives $9 per pound.

This year's winner, a 2,560-pound gourd, nicknamed "Maverick", was submitted by Travis Gienger from Anoka, MN. Though not a world record contender, it did outweigh the American record holder, a 2,554-pound squash,by six pounds!

The horticulture teacher from Anoka, MN, planted the fruit in April and spent almost six months carefully nurturing its growth.

Gienger's daily care routine included fertilizing the soil, checking for roots, and watering the pumpkin. He covered the fruit in plastic during heavy rain and provided shade on hot days. Gienger's efforts were rewarded with a cash prize of $23,040 ($9 a pound)!

The competition's runner-up, Steve Daletas, took home $3,000 with his 2,425-pound entry, while third-place winner Ruben Frias received $2,500 for his 2,118-pound gourd.

Other titles included the largest Coastside pumpkin, largest California pumpkin, and most beautiful pumpkin. The winners of each title won $1,000.

This is not Gienger's first time entering and winning the competition. In 2020, his 2,350-pound pumpkin also took first place, as reported by Guinees Book of World Records.

The 42-year-old then carved this pumpkin, which nicknamed "Tiger King", to earn the Guinness World Record for the largest jack-o-lantern by circumference. Gienger now plans to carve "Maverick" and break his own record.

- Example 2: Meet Fenrir, The World's Tallest Living Domestic Cat

1. Event/Newsworthy Event (Kejadian inti)

A gentle giant in Farmington Hills, Michigan, has set a Guinness World Record as the world's tallest living domestic cat. Fenrir Powers measured an impressive 18.83 inches on January 29, 2021.

The two-year-old Savannah cat's achievement was revealed in the Guinness World Records 2023 edition, released on September 13, 2022.

2. Background Event/Elaboration (latar belakang peristiwa)

Savannah cats are a cross between domestic cats and large-eared wild African cats. Measuring between 14 and 17 inches tall, they are the tallest and one of the largest cat breeds.

But, Fenrir, who stands a full inch taller, is exceptionally tall even for his breed. "He just grew and grew like Clifford the Big Red Dog," Fenrir's owner, Dr. Will Powers, said in a video about the cat.

Dr. Powers adopted Fenrir when he was just 12 weeks old. The proud owner says the intelligent cat uses his height to his advantage. "

When we were trying to take some pictures of him, we had to shut some of the other cats out of the room, and Fenrir decided he didn't want to be in the room anymore," he recalled. "So he stood on his hind legs and opened the door."

When not breaking records, Fenrir spends his time helping anxious patients at the clinic. Powers said, "He wanders around the office receiving pats from people, snoozing on exam room tables, and begging for treats."

Fenrir is not the only celebrity in the Powers household. The physician's other famous cats include Altair Powers and Cygnus Powers, the current and previous Guinness World Record holders for the longest tail on a living domestic cat.

Fenrir's late brother Arcturus Powers, who holds the Guinness World Record for the tallest domestic cat ever, was also a family pet. Unfortunately, Cygnus and Arcturus died in a house fire in 2017.
