Halloween is coming to Tinkers Cove, Maine, and local reporter Lucy Stone is covering the towns annual Giant Pumpkin Fest for the Pennysaver. Theres the pumpkin-boat regatta, the childrens Halloween party, the pumpkin weigh-ineven a contest where home-built catapults hurl pumpkins at an old Dodge! But not everything goes quite as plannedLucys getting very annoyed that her husband Bill and his friend Evan have been working seemingly nonstop on their potentially prize-winning pumpkin catapult. But when the day of the big contest arrives, Evan is nowhere to be founduntil a catapulted pumpkin busts open the trunk of the Dodge. Amid the pumpkin gore is a very deceased Evan, bashed in the head and placed in the trunk by someone long before the contest started.
