Here's something you don't see everyday

Here's something you don't see everyday, a Pumpkin Regatta.
Every year at The Great Pumpkin Festival in Elk Grove, California the weekend is topped off with a pumpkin regatta.  Extremely large pumpkins weighing around 1200 pounds are hollowed out then used as boats, then raced across a pond in Elk Grove Regional Park. One pumpkin was big enough to carry two adult passengers comfortably.  The largest pumpkin seen at the festival weighed in at 1,630.5 lbs.
