1,200-Pound Pumpkin Dropped From 100 Feet High in Tewksbury

The owner of a bowling alley in Tewksbury fulfilled a longtime dream by dropping a 1,207-pound pumpkin from a crane 100 feet high onto the parking lot at his business Sunday.

The pumpkin, which was a recent (and late) competitor at the Topsfield Fair in October, fell to the asphalt while about 1,200 people (or about one per pound) looked on, according to the Lowell Sun.
