(10)

The challenge is simple: who can chunk a pumpkin the farthest. Air cannons, catapults, and trebuchets (among other machines) will all be found on the firing line. Categories will include youth, amateur, professional, and air cannon, meaning multiple teams will proudly get to call themselves chunker champions. The event is a great opportunity for kids of all ages to build something with their hands

and engage in some friendly competition. The Punkin Chunkin is more than a high-flying competition. It’s a fun-filled festival including food trucks, arts and crafts, and live music. Free activities for the kids include pumpkin bowling, pumpkin decorating, face painting, and more.
