“Guess The Pumpkin’s Weight Contest” I was running on Twitter, ended last night @11:59pm. The pumpkin that I picked up in Wrigleyville, rode all of Critical Mass, rode home and unloaded on my porch weighs 52lbs! Congratulations to Evan Kuchar who guessed 65lbs. (13lbs over) You won a bag of locally roasted Passion House Coffee! I’m also awarding a 2nd prize because they were so close, Aliza Morell guessed 38.5lbs (13.5 lbs under). You also won a bag of Passion House Coffee!

Keep an eye on Chicago Cargo, we love promoting local businesses by posting fun contests and giving away prizes.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!
