New Guinness World Record Set This Week In New York
Officials with the Guinness Book of World Records were in New York State to certify a new world record.
Officials headed to the Great Pumpkin Farm in Clarence, New York to check out the record attempt for the largest Jack-o-Latern in the world.
The current largest pumpkin in the world was transported from Minnesota to Western New York where a local Buffalo artist Eric Jones of Mammoth Creations turned it into the world's largest Jack-o-Latern.

The record-smashing pumpkin weighed in at 2,749 pounds before it was carved up.
The world-record attempt is part of a fundraiser for two charities. The $5 admission will be donated to Tunnels To Towers for Goldstar families and families of fallen first responders and to Pawsitive for Heroes which helps put veterans together with service animals.
The jack-o-lantern will be on display through November 12th at the Great Pumpkin Farm.
