ROMNEY LANDSLIDE IN LOUISVILLE Pumpkin chuckers have their say
Billy Goat’s Pumpkin Chunkin’ event at this year’s GIE+EXPO resulted in more than 300 pumpkins chucked through its 35-hp truck loader. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney won by a landslide.
Participants were allowed to select from one of two 4’ x 2’ caricatures, Barrack Obama or Mitt Romney, to chuck a pumpkin at. The overwhelming majority chose to chuck at Obama, giving Romney the win. Unfortunately for Romney, GIE+EXPO carries zero votes in the electoral college.
The 2013 Event Planner in a new, larger size, will once again contain dates of all the national and international industry shows and events. Published with the December issue of Turf Pro/Service Dealer TO ADVERTISE GEORGE MILLER E-mail or 020 3603 7936
