With fall officially here, it's time for Lennoxville, Quebec's annual Giant Pumpkin Festival, where people can see pumpkins that weigh as much as 680 kilograms.
The festival — which is taking place at the Amédée Beaudoin community centre Sundayfrom 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. — is a family event with bouncy castles, a petting zoo, a farmers'market, music and even horse-drawn carriages.
Alexandre Lemire started growing giant pumpkins three years ago after being inspired by festival founder MikeMacdonald's crops. Last year, his biggest pumpkin weighed 704 kilograms.
