Yet another reason to love Oregon. We went with friend Dave to this annual event in Tualatin (a few miles west of Portland). It was pretty darn funny, seeing these folks paddle 500+ lb. (if I remember correctly) pumpkins. Bret also got to see the biggest pumpkin grown in the US this year (2nd biggest in the world). How big is it, you ask? REALLY BIG! Over 1200 lbs. Now that's some pumpkin.

That looks like a lot of work, but what a fun and clever idea! I'm amazed at how well they float!
Hmmmmnn, wonder how those things would do in Class IV whitewater. Could be a fun ride.
Or not.
Now THAT's an image! Pumpkin puree for all at the end...
Oh, I think this is going to have to be a must-see for us next year.
That's not Bret in the pumpkin - but next year, if we give him the proper encouragement, it could be!
Oh yeah! YES WE CAN...win a pumpkin regatta...
