Punkin' Chunkin' World Championship

In November

Where:  A field in Sussex County, DE, near Millsboro

What:  Rumor has it that this "original" event was started sometime in the 80's by a blacksmith, plumber and well driller who had been throwing anvils!  This gathering of folks who like to see how far various machines can launch a single punkin' makes for quite a tailgate party.  Entries in the contest (all non-explosive) include catapults, machines that use centrifugal force, cannons, and other human-powered gadgets.  There are 2 categories for the ingenious entries of kids and youth.  Bragging rights go to the one who launched a punkin' more than 4,000 ft!  AMAZING! This you must see for yourself.  Much fun for children of all ages!
