The great pumpkin smash and dash for cash

Posted:

A crane drops a 1,000 pound.

The Great Pumpkin Farm in Clarence, New York held its annual weekend fall festival this year with a 1,000 pound pumpkin smashing to the ground.

Ninety-eight people won the chance to compete for a $750 gift card, and other prizes. All they had to do was find the most plastic coins inside the pumpkin's guts.

This weekend, the fall fest will include a catapult pumpkin tossing contest.
