This is a great mashup vid. Set to great music too: Smashing Pumpkins' "Cherub Rock"

We do two drops at HarvestFest. Day one was Tanner Conway's 800+lber spiked with seed packs into a kiddie pool.

Day two was Midge Johnson's ~500lber stacked on top of Pete Midthun's ~1600lber, dropped onto Shannon Engel's two carved ~200lbers, which had a GoPro camera wedged between them. Midge's pumpkin had the top removed and inside was over 20lbs of Halloween candy for the kiddos.

As the vid shows, candy flew everywhere and kids rushed in like a tidal wave to grab it.

Then we asked the kids to grab a chunk of pumpkin and toss it into Ben Weiner's trailer. Crowd sourcing clean up turned a 2+ hour job into a 20 minute effort. :)

Good times at HarvestFest

My poor mouse carved pumpkin just about escaped, Jodi's Pumpkin had no clue. He was too distracted by the crowd.
