How do you carve an 844 pound pumpkin? With a chain saw of course. Tom Healy carves a massive pumpkin in front of his convenience store at Reed Market and 15th Street in Bend every year. This sizable vegetable is actually a couple hundred pounds lighter than the one he had last year. He uses the painted face as a guide. After 13 years of chainsaw pumpkin carving, Healy has gotten pretty good at a jack-o-lantern face. He calls this pumpkin 'Otis.'

"We do a lot of contests and one of them is to guess how many seeds are in Otis and we're going to find out here in a little bit. We have employees who like to get into Otis and get the seeds out," says Tom Healy, owner of the Expressway.

The pumpkin was in the Oregon state pumpkin weigh off in Salem.
