Two-Year-Old Barrett Sears Grows 280-Pound Winning Pumpkin
A 2-year-old boy, Barrett Sears, grew the 280-pound winning pumpkin at Hysham's Fall Fun Festival, which was part of a larger community celebration.
Billings, MT, October 24, 2026 —
Barrett Sears, 2, grew a 280-pound pumpkin that was named the winning pumpkin at Hysham’s Fall Fun Festival, according to the available event summary. The festival was part of a larger community celebration.
The information provided identifies Sears as the pumpkin’s grower and gives its weight, but does not specify when the festival took place. It also does not provide details about how the pumpkin was grown, how its weight was determined or what criteria were used to select the winner.
The summary does not identify other participants, festival organizers or the location of the larger celebration beyond its connection to Hysham’s Fall Fun Festival. No additional awards, activities or event results were included in the information available.
The account therefore establishes the central detail of the recognition: a pumpkin grown by a 2-year-old was selected as the festival’s winning entry, and it weighed 280 pounds. Further details about the event and the growing process were not provided.
