What is Pumpkin Chuckin'?

Welcome to the thrilling world of Pumpkin Chuckin'! This exciting recreational activity and competitive sport takes inspiration from medieval trebuchets to launch pumpkins into the sky, aiming for maximum distance or precision.

Join us at our inaugural event, where we're providing the trebuchet for you to participate. Bring your jack o'lanterns and  watch them soar through the air, instead of watching them rot at home! Don't have a pumpkin to bring? No problem! Pumpkins will be provided for free! We have big plans to expand the event in the future, allowing participants to build and test their very own catapults.
