The Naked Pumpkin Run has been a Halloween tradition in Boulder, Colorado, for ten years but this year's huge crowd concerned the police, who ticketed a dozen or so revelers.

It seems that, in Boulder at least, its okay to go naked in the streets provided that nobody around you is fully clothed. It was dozens of costumed revelers, including a man with a red cape and a sword, that drew the police attention leading to charges of indecent behavior. The people thus charged were naked save for hollowed out pumpkins on their heads.

As the caped man was heard to say, the police would have been better occupied going to "find real criminals."

In defense of the police action, Boulder police Chief, Mark Beckner, said officers "wanted to do something before the event got out of hand."
