I want to go there to watch the great Pumpkin Regatta. Just seenit on Martha.
Every year around this time in Nova Scotia, a pumpkin farmer named Howard Dill organizes what's known as the "Pumpkin Regatta," which is Canadian for Giant Pumpkin Race Across the Freezing Lake with Pumpkin Glop on Your Shoes. Apparently the race is a local charity event that has drawn the attention of politicians and celebrities. How it works is they hollow out these giant pumpkins (weighing upward of 1,000 pounds), put celebrities/politicians in them, with a kayak paddle, are helped into the water, and we watch them instantly sink into the icy depths of Lake Pesaquid. Well some make it!
Its a race. And I would love to go watch...wouldn't you???
