Hee Haw farms had their 2nd annual pumpkin drop. I work with a crane company called, G&S Crane. The owner, Steve, was invited to do the pumpkin drop last year, which I volunteered to help him last year. It went so well that they invited him back this year, and of course, I told him that if he needed help, let me know and I will help him. Well, yup, you guessed it. I helped him again this year. It was awesome. There was a man basket attached to the crane, and they attached a contraption on the bottom of the man basket which held the pumpkin. They had a Pontiac 6000 car, and dropped an 1169 lb pumpkin (State record) on the cab of the car. It was totally awesome when the pumpkin landed on the top of the car. Following is a link to the Salt Lake Tribune paper, which has a video of the drop.

This is a photo of the aftermath of the pumpkin meeting the Pontiac, I think that the pumpkin won.
