“The pumpkin regatta is one of those things that with the recent news that it's been cancelled indefinitely by the organizing committee and picked up by another municipal unit, I just feel maybe council hasn't tried hard enough to save this festival.”The Windsor West Hants Pumpkin Regatta began in 1999 and was held annually, with the last one being held in 2019.
“I believe it’s well documented there are many people who want the experience of paddling a giant pumpkin across a lake. We have a local farmer who has proven he can grow the world’s largest pumpkins if needed. It’s just the question of water,” Zebian wrote in his report to council on the subject. “So, we said, ‘here, take this’ and now we're going to re-engage another one. I'm not sure what the value of that is except for the fact that we find ourselves in this precarious situation,” he continued.
