The Great Pumpkin of Colorado Springs

Want to see a HUGE pumpkin? Go to the corner of Nevada and Vermijo -- it's in the middle of the median. Pretty hard to miss it! According to THIS news article in the Gazette (which has a few pictures of the installation in progress last month), the pumpkin is 10x10', 11' tall and weighs roughly 1,500 pounds. Wow! It's also 90% made from recycled materials, which I love. The Great Pumpkin is another fantastic local project by Concrete Couch, the same organization that brought us THIS sculpture in Acacia Park. I like it! I think it's a unique, fun addition to our city.
