On Friday night, I visited the Topsfield Fair, which is a giant agricultural fair that marks the end of the fair season in Massachusetts. (For my fellow New York natives, it’s like a less state-pridey version of the New York State Fair, without the dairy bar and the New York State Lottery booth. Which, I mean, are the only parts of the NY State Fair I remember.)
Dodging downpours while leaping from exhibit to exhibit, I came across a vegetable display that any Boston sports fan has to give major props to: The Boston Celtics in Gourd Form.

A local Cub Scout troop submitted their autumn gourd Boston Celtics display to the vegetable diorama competition, and obviously won first prize. What better way to celebrate your defending Eastern Conference Champions than to make semblances of them in gourds?
Oh no! Kendrick Perkins is down. Out three weeks with a bruised pumpkin. (I don’t know how well you can see the writing on the “jersey,” but it did read Kendrick Perkins.)
Oops. Kendrick Perkins Gourd is down. (Photo by me)
Major kudos to this Cub Scout troop for giving us a great example of Sports in Unexplained Places. Congratulations on winning first place.
