The Great Pumpkin Race - A New England Legends Podcast
Description
Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger head to Goffstown, New Hampshire, where every fall the Piscataquog River transforms into one of New England’s strangest racetracks.
For 25 years, locals have carved out giant pumpkins, climbed inside, and paddled them like boats in a regatta that has become the stuff of legend.
But how did this wonderfully weird tradition begin? Jeff and Ray slip back through the decades to uncover the origins of a festival that turned a humble pumpkin patch into an unforgettable piece of Granite State folklore.
