some had trouble staying on course

It was an interesting time and drew a good sized crowd, Mimi.

These pictures are just wonderful as is the whole concept. I think this is great!

You are right, Shirley. There were also a few bumps in the pavement which tended to make them go sideways.

If the produce is not centered it would veer one way or the other. I think it marvelous that any got over the finish line, good one snooker, Thanks.

Good one. :)

Perhaps the heat of the day had something to do with it. :)

Possibly, Suzy, but it wasn't only the pumpkin. Sometimes in one heat they would be straight right to the end of the course but in another heat they would veer off to the side. Never knew what was going to happen.

The pumpkin may have had a bit to sip before the race began.

Some one had a good imagination to think this one up.

I would watch it. Yes it's silly, but lovely. I like it.

Got anything better to do after Thanksgiving dinner except sleep?

why is everyone watching this silly race?
