Damariscotta River Pumpkin Races

   Now admit it, when you first saw the phrase " Pumpkin Race" you didn't imagine that it meant grown men in hollowed out Atlantic Giant pumpkins?  Well, the First Annual Pumpkin Regatta is over and nobody drowned! Last year was the first time these craft took to the water in front of an audience but this year drew quite a crowd.

   Bill Green of WCSH Channel 6 TV (seen above) was a scratch from the race because he capsized, proving that the folks that race these giant gourds aren't just pretty faces but are skilled sea persons in the great Maine tradition.

   In between showings today, Newcastle Squares' Tom Field managed to get these pictures.  Stand by for complete race results from The Lincoln County News.
