Pumpkin Canoe

I’m sure this is not new to some of you, but I’ve just learned that besides making pumpkin pie and those delicious roasted pumpkin seeds, pumpkin also makes a good … canoe!

While most families place a candle or light bulb in their carved-out
pumpkins, J.R. Hildebrandt can fit a chair and small heater in his.

The Wisconsin resident has carved a canoe out of a pumpkin and is taking the 760-pound gourd to the water where he plans to paddle 150 miles for charity.

    Thought you might like to know - there's an article in the most recent issue of Downeast magazine about an annual pumpkin boat competition that takes places somewhere in Maine. They get mighty creative with their boats there, I must say.

    To be honest, its more of a coracle than a canoe. Silly Mainiacs...
