Pumpkin Dinosaur
Every year about the 28th or 29th of October Bob Webber's Bailey Creek Limousin Farm near Loretto, Ontario., becomes one of the hot spots of Simcoe County.
By that time, Webber has completed his latest pumpkin creation for Halloween.
Last year, the sixth year of constructing "something" out of pumpkins, Webber came up with his most ambitious project to date: a 12-ft. tall, 20-ft. long dinosaur called the Bailey Creek Daspletosaurus.
"You can't be serious all your life, can you?" Webber asks.
Webber comes up with the ideas for the pumpkin creations and Glen Hastings, Tottenham, takes the raw idea and welds together steel frames for it.
It took about 100 pumpkins to fill out the dinosaur frame. It was finished about the 28th of October, just in time for hoards of visitors who make the trek to the Webbers' to see the annual creation.
For 1994, Webber built a bigger, better dinosaur with two babies. We'll have photos in the next issue of FARM SHOW.
