Massive cabbage weighs in at state fair

By Levi Kaus

Palmer, AK- Man shatters world record with a cabbage at the state fair Sept. 2nd

.

Scott Robb wrecked the world record with a massive 138.25-pound cabbage this

weekend at the state fair weigh-in. This beat the previous record by a whopping 11

pounds, which was set by Steve Hubacek in 2009. Hubacek came back this year and

placed second with his 126 pounder. “I was a little surprised at how big it got considering

all the rain and cold we’ve been getting all year,” said Scott Robb.

For all the Alaskan gardeners who think the short growing season limits us: perseverance

is best. If you’re from Tok, try going to the state fair next year with your most monstrous

vegetable. You may set a new world record.
