today I learned that there’s a town in Quebec where a bunch of people grow giant pumpkins, and on one very special day a year, cut them up, empty them, and use them as a canoe. then have a race. a pumpkin race. it’s even called ‘the potirothon’, from potiron (pumpkin) and marathon.
i have a new goal in life, guys.
[ID: Two photos. The first photo is of a light-skinned person sitting in a giant, hollow pumpkin floating in the water. They’re wearing a coat, life jacket, hat, and sunglasses, and holding a long kayaking paddle. Attached to the pumpkin are a Quebec flag and a flag with the number 9. The second photo shows several more people standing in the water with several hollow pumpkin boats of various shapes and sizes. /end ID]
