Judie Piper, of Superior, Wis., adjusts corn stalks near the giant jack-o-lantern in her front yard on Monday, Oct. 30, 2006. The 1045-pound pumpkin was grown by Mike Golat of Altoona, Wis. Golat brought the pumpkin to Piper, who he knew was a Halloween fan, by pick-up truck. Piper's husband Fred used a Bobcat to move it into the right spot in their yard. Piper had family members help gut and carve the monster gourd. (AP Photo/Daily Telegram, Jed Carlson) ORG XMIT: WISUP101
