This is what you do with those giant pumpkins, Capri-Uni!

Windsor, Nova Scotia is the home of giant pumpkin pioneer Howard Dill, and every year some of those pumpkins become boats, attracting much needed tourist buiness to the area. Trust me, land and water in NS are not in short supply, yet, and it's a better use than selling the no-profit farm to a rich foriegner who'll do Godknowswhat to it - and we have some spectacular cases of godknowswhat.
