Braving temperatures in the low 40's the annual Giant Pumpkin Regatta was held in Lake Mendota near the UW Memorial Union Saturday October 10, 2009. Using giant pumpkins grown by the UW Horticulture Society and helped by Hoofers Sailing Club, people had a chance to showoff their skills at padding the giant gourds around a short course. Besides being very unstable, most people had a hard time controlling the pumpkins and some had to be pulled to shore after drifting off the course.
