Hallowe’en at Big Rock

Posted on October 13, 2009 by Museum at Campbell River

In October 1986 this Great Pumpkin emerged from the fog.  It was made by sewing 238 orange garbage  bags together using a mile of thread.

A geologist says Big Rock was embedded in an iceberg during the last Ice Age and was deposited at its present location.  The origin is also the subject of several legends.
