Officials
in Highwood, Illinois, believe they have broken the record for most
jack-o-lanterns lit at one time, a record Boston set in 2006 with 30,128
pumpkins. City residents carved nearly 32,000 pumpkins during
Highwood’s annual Pumpkin Fest. Most of the pumpkins, gutted by
volunteers, were placed on blue scaffolding that reached eight levels
high in some spots. The city will look over photos and videos to
determine an exact number that will be submitted to Guinness. Highwood
is not the only town going for the record this year. Keene, New
Hampshire, the first town to hold the title, is also looking to set a
new record.
