Here’s something you don’t see every day: average citizens, floating around a lake strapped to massive pumpkins. It’s happening in Tualatin (and not for the first time we’re told).
The Fourth Annual West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta kicks off Saturday at 10 AM. Contestants will pilot themselves around the Lake at Tualatin Commons in massive pumpkins (600-1,000 pounds). All the gourd captains will be in costume and there will be plenty of entertainment on land for those not wishing to float along the waves inside a Jack O Lantern.
At this point, there is no word on plans for the vessels after they have sailed, but we are told by one culinary expert that all those pumpkins could make one hell of a pie.
