Canada's Largest Pumpkin to Drop From the Sky for Halloween
Montreal radio station 92.5 The Beat to smash 1,753 lb. pumpkin
(firmenpresse) - MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 10/23/12 -- Editors Note: There is a photo associated with this press release.
92.5 The Beat is excited to announce that it will be dropping Canada's largest pumpkin to the ground for Halloween. In an event that's sure to be a ton of fun for the whole family - literally - the radio station has arranged to have the 1,753 lb. pumpkin suspended from a crane over 100 feet in the air and then dropped in front of a gathered crowd, where it will meet its ultimate demise. The giant squash is being supplied by a local farmer.
Beat Breakfast announcer Cat Spencer is the man behind the whole idea.
"The band Smashing Pumpkins happens to be in Montreal that day, but that's not why I came up with the idea", jokes the morning man. "I was actually inspired by the recent free-fall from space, and thought 'How cool would it be to free-fall a pumpkin for all the kids at Halloween?' "
To add even more excitement to the event, The Beat is filling the prize pumpkin with 92 numbered Ping-Pong balls that have been won by listeners. When the pumpkin goes smash, the person whose ball lands closest to the target will win a $5000 gift card from The Brick.
