Punkin Chunkin 2011



This coming weekend I'm headed up to Delaware for the annual Punkin Chunkin event. And yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. Competitors will launch pumpkins as far as they can into a field, using the machines they've built. There are a bunch of different categories too, like catapult, or air cannons [which I hear can launch a pumpkin over a mile!] I've seen the specials on TV before [like the one video below] but I've never made it up for the actual event, so I'm really looking forward to it. Stay tuned for updates early next week and check out the preview below of what's in store! Enjoy!

Oh wow! I was going to ask if you would be launching one, but based on these contraptions, I don't think so! Looks very entertaining!
