Ready...Set...Roll! The third annual Pumpkin Races will roll at noon Saturday, Oct. 25 in downtown Princeton. This year’s event, which is sponsored by the Optimist Club of Princeton, will bring together people of all ages to see who has built the fastest pumpkin around. The race tracks will be set up on the corner of Main and Marion streets, between the Clark House and Brandy’s Hallmark Store. The entry fee is three canned goods for each pumpkin entry, which will be donated to the Bureau County Food Pantry. There are rules to this race however, and those who break the rules will have their pumpkin smashed. Rules include: no motors, axle must go through the pumpkin, and the pumpkin must be real. The pumpkin race referee will be the final judge. Wheels and axles can be purchased at Gustafson Ace Hardware, Tractor Supply Co. and Walmart. Attendees are welcome to get into the spirit and wear their Halloween costume. IV Scene file photo
