We’re hoisting up an 800 lb pumpkins high in the sky (100 ft in fact) with Digging and Rigging Inc.’s crane and need you to help us count down until we drop it!
Join us on top of the hill at 2:30 PM to see the action LIVE!
Once dropped, you’ll be able to gather up pumpkin seeds so you can plant your own pumpkins or roast pumpkin seeds.
