Boston Pumpkin Carving Contest

The city of Boston broke the world's record for lighting 30,128 carved pumpkins at a single time! The event was held on Boston Common, the city's main park, on October 21, 2006. You wouldn't believe how many pumpkins were there. It was pretty amazing sight to see! Almost impossible to move with all the people attending as well, estimated at over 100,000 attendees. The 40 foot scaffold tower of pumpkins you see in the video holds about 2,000 pumpkins alone. The event was sponsored by Life is Good, a Boston-based clothing company. Over $250,000 in proceeds and donations raised during the event will go to Camp Sunshine in Casco, Maine which provides retreats for children with life threatening illnesses.

Por los dioses!

De verdad tiran todas esas calabazas en 'eso'?

Como tradición puede estar bien, y de hehco es divertido, pero ¿por qué no se paran a pensar en que están tirando comida?

Meses de trabajo en el campo inútiles.
