New World Record!

Stillwater recently held its annual Harvest Fest, and we headed downtown to check out the festivities.


The river is still quite high following some fairly severe rains, so all boats - not just the paddleboats - have been waiting for the lift bridge.


There were rumors of a world record pumpkin on the premises; we thought we'd try to guess which one.


This pumpkin stated (with a handwritten note) that it was the tallest pumpkin in the world. I can't imagine there's that much competition.


Finally...coming from New Richmond, WI, the world's biggest pumpkin! I think the official weight was 1810.5 pounds, but it needs to be verified by the folks at Guinness.


Loser pumpkins


Obligatory group shot


Random children

Cars on the river, per usual.


I think these are the remnants of the pumpkin regatta. Otherwise, I'm not exactly sure what's going on here.

Until next year, happy pumpkin and flood zone season!
