Pumpkin Launch

It doesn't get funner then this!  Here are a couple things to remember:

  • You need to bring your own pumpkin for the event - there will me some for sale at the event but they will be limited. 
  • You need to register your pumpkin and have it marked by staff. Staff will then call your number and you can either help pull the rope on the trebuchet or just stand back or watch it fly...then splat!
  • There is $3 registration fee per pumpkin. Registration begins at 1:00 p.m. and only the first 60 are guaranteed to launch. Launching starts @ 1:15 p.m.
  • If your pumpkin hits one of the targets, you'll win a prize.
