PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- People in giant squash made a big splash and then some in Tualatin's Lake of the Commons Sunday afternoon.
Paddlers dressed in their Halloween best raced in carved-out pumpkins with all their might as part of the West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta.
The goal is not only to make it to the finish line first, but also avoid taking on too much water.
Event organizers say racers came from as far away as South Carolina and Massachusetts.
