    If memory serves they either go home with the entrant, or get donated to be used as animal feed. They arent very good pumpkins for, like, human pumpkin stuff. You could carve them I guess, but they aren’t good eating pumpkins.

        I’ve been on the internet long enough to know not to rule out any ….uses… for anything.

        I did mean eating, carving, and using for crafts/decoration, though. For stuff like that, they aren’t much good. You can make some of them into very temporary boats, though. That’s also human stuff, but they aren’t very good boats, either :)
