| Description |
Taken Saturday at the annual Pumpkin Fest in Damariscotta, Maine. This pumpkin weighed in at 726 lbs (329 kg). The largest pumpkin this year weighed 1683 ;bs. This festival lasts for about 10 days with the pumpkins on display for longer. Lots of people and lots of fun. The Pumpkinboat Regatta, featuring numerous 400-700 pound, hollowed-out pumpkins with motors attached or paddled, piloted by volunteer captains, racing one another in the Damariscotta Harbor. This event is live-fed into the local theater; A downtown display of 65+ volunteer-carved and decorated giant pumpkins lining Main Street in Damariscotta & Newcastle; The Pumpkin “Soapbox-style” Derby, with competitions for kids and adults; The ever popular Pumpkin Dessert Contest and Pumpkin Pie Eating Contests; The infamous 180′ Pumpkin Drop onto a stack of junked cars; and The Giant Pumpkin Parade, featuring the winning pumpkin (the largest fruit in the State of Maine) from the weigh-off. The Columbus Day weekend events, a true “slice of small town Americana” are supported by the entire community. Damariscotta Pumpkinfest™ has no paid staff. Instead, nearly one hundred local businesses and over 400 volunteer-growers support this community event with both their time and money. Volunteers engineer and build the boats, artists and sculptors create the downtown displays, and farmers grow “ammunition” for the hunt/drop. The Maine Maritime Museum historic wooden-boat building crew competes in the regatta. [website] |
