Contest: Guess Weight Of Great Pumpkin In Hoboken For Halloween 2021, Win Gift Cards

HOBOKEN, NJ — Since trick-or-treating was canceled in Hoboken back in 2020, people are more than ready to enjoy autumn and Halloween 2021. The Hoboken Business Alliance has placed a giant pumpkin and some other displays on uptown streets for the first time.

But how much does the giant gourd weigh?

No one's telling yet: There's going to be a social media contest in which you can post a photo and guess the weight of the pumpkin for a chance to win gift cards.

Why not? We can all use more socially distant contests to keep our "spirits" up this season!

Follow @hobokenalliance on Instagram for more information on the contest and on Hoboken businesses, or visit www.hobokenbusinessalliance.com.
