People Paddle Pumpkins Across Lake in Nova Scotia Race - kcentv.com - KCEN HD - Waco, Temple, and Killeen

(KCEN) -- People braved the bitter cold to paddle across a lake in Nova Scotia in a bunch of giant pumpkins.

The pumpkins were hollowed out and some even got a personalized paint job for the Annual Pumpkin Regatta.

The winner called his pumpkin "Gourdinstein."

There was even a race for pumpkins with motors on them.

A 12-year old boy won that one.

Organizers say the cold kept some people away but they still got about thirty new pumpkin paddlers.
