As many of you should know, we are trying to organize people in Folsom to drop off a carved pumpkin (or 5) on Sutter Street on Friday Oct 30. We hope to get as many as 1,000 pumpkins lining the street!

The Contest (prize: $50!):
How many jack-o-lanterns will we get on Sutter Street?

5?
100?
1000?

That's it. Just reply to this thread.

PS, If you want to be a pumpkin lighter, please PM me.

Hmmm, so just a guess of what will be there? Not an estimate of how many after the fact?

I'll go ahead and say 383. I think most people want to keep their carved pumpkins, and not donate them away.

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll make it out there Friday night with a pumpkin, but for $50, I'll guess 317.
I would rather be Backpacking

I would bring our pumpkins but I am not sure they will survive as we had to carve them for DD school even on Friday.

I will guess 101
