Hundreds of Canadians from near and far gathered in Smoky Lake to watch the annual, much-anticipated Giant Pumpkin Drop

Hundreds gathered around the cordoned-off area, and the crowd was comprised of fairgoers from both near and far, attracting visitors from Calgary, Alta. and North Battleford, Sask.
