Pumpkin Boating

In Damariscotta, Maine they launched a new tradition this year. An Annual PumpkinFest and Regatta. By "Regatta" they mean putting outboard motors on giant pumpkins and motoring in them around the bay. MainePumpkins.com has pictures.

And, as we gather, here on the banks of our bay in the year of our Lord 2123 to celebrate, once more, in the traditions of our first ancestors to reach these shores .....

And thus are traditions born!
