Giant Pumpkin Showcases Ethanol


The Great Pumpkin Patch has once again produced a spectacular pumpkin that showcases ethanol, turns heads and wins awards. Endress + Hauser employees are posing by the great ethanol pumpkin.

The ethanol pumpkin, carved by William Hughes from Versailles, Ind., turned out to be one of the award winning pumpkins at the Indiana State Fair. After the fair concluded, the pumpkin made an appearance at Endress + Hauser’s Greenwood, Ind. facility, compliments of uber ethanol supporter Lee Saberson.

The ginormous pumpkin was sculpted to display stalks of corn, the “e” logo and a car. The pumpkin weighs in at more than 400 lbs.
