The owner of a farm in Newbury, Vermont, says drenching rains washed as many as 100,000 pumpkins into the Connecticut River. Margaret Gladstone of Newmont Farm says at least two people who plucked pumpkins from the river have sent her money for them. She said other farmers have offered to help her fill orders. The pumpkins had been picked and were waiting to be shipped when storms hit the area over the weekend. Gladstone estimated the total loss at 100,000 pumpkins. About 4,000 made it at least 25 miles downstream, where they washed up on a beach.
