Astonishing Harvest Fest Photo Captures 3 Giant Pumpkins in Freefall

The 2013 edition of the Stillwater event went out in style when these three gourds hit the grass.

"Thank you to everyone who came out this weekend! And thank you Jackie for this amazing photo of today's pumpkin drop!!!"

That's how Stillwater Harvest Photo captioned their Facebook posting of one of the most amazing pumpkin-drop photos ever.
The event topped off an amazing Stillwater Harvest Fest that saw a Minnesota record set, only to be topped by 4.5 pounds by a pumpkin from Wisconsin. 

"I've shot that event for three years, and have never come close to that shot," former Stillwater Patch editor Shawn Hogendorf grumbled Monday.
