Halloween
Several cities in the U.S. have held naked pumpkin runs on Halloween. Today's photos are from the run in Boulder, Colorado in 2008.
Participants run through the streets wearing only shoes, socks, and a hollowed-out pumpkin on their head.
150 people participated in the Boulder naked pumpkin run in 2008.
Participants carved their pumpkins in a variety of designs.
The pumpkins above have been shortened a bit, making it easier to see who's inside.
This guy took a minimalist approach to the pumpkin. However, he was faithful to the naked part of the naked pumpkin run.
Unfortunately, in 2009, the Boulder pumpkin run was squashed by local police, who threatened participants with arrest for indecent exposure and registration as a sex offender. The run does not seem to have been held in Boulder since then. However, naked Halloween pumpkin runs have been held in other cities, including Seattle and Portland, Oregon.
Happy Halloween!

I'll have to ask my friends if they've heard of this here in Portland, Oregon.
Leave it to some folks to ruin the innocent fun. A ticket for indecent exposure is ridiculous enough --- but sex offender status? Ludicrous.
