“This changed my life forever. I grew up with an overwhelming fear of the massive form that is the great pumpkin... but i worked up the courage and left a small offering of $1,000 by this god like squash. The earth trembled around me and snow began to fall..... my offering was accepted... as i walked away.. stealing one last glance at the massive fruit... i felt closer to god... and life made sense once again”
“Pros and cons of the giant pumpkin! Pros It is a glorious giant pumpkin with very unique details put together giving some flair to its surroundings with a hint of spookiness. Cons It is too heavy to pick up and bring back to the house.”
“I saw it in person. It’s amazing. It’s a largish pumpkin Super cheap to look at and no wait. Not sure I’ll ever be the same after getting a good look at it while sitting at a red light.”
“It's a pumpkin. By a street. There IS a good pizza place across from it, called the White Pie! Rocking my #tealstrong shirt for ovarian cancer awareness. #travelingclown”
