Punkin Chunkin (27 pics)

Punkin Chunkin is hurling a pumpkin by mechanical means over great heights and distances in an attempt to hurl the pumpkin the farthest. It started in 1986 in Millsboro.
The World Championship Punkin' Chunkin' is even held every year on the first weekend after Halloween in Sussex County, Delaware. Competing teams construct and fire a variety of pumpkin-launching devices, including catapults, trebuchets, centrifugal machines, and pneumatic cannons.
People spend big money to construct all these mechanical firing devices just for this one day in a year.
Would you like to take part in it? ;)
