My husband has kept our 410lb-er in the back of our pick up since our weigh off 9/20. It never fails to draw a crowd no matter where it's parked. Today one on-looker shared an AG story from when he lived in California. Sounded like an Oakland area radio station bought an 800+lb AG for a promotional stunt that involved lifting the AG with a helicopter up to 2000 feet and released it. Sadly the plan didn't account for any lateral drift as the plummeting pumpkin met with cross winds. Even sadder was when it came to rest on the ground it was on top of a car.
True? I dunno.
It sounded like this may have happened several years ago.
Can anyone confirm? It's a great story just the same. KT
