Punkin Chunkin World Championships are held in Delaware in November. A local group competes and so this weekend was a warmup weekend. The kids got to not only see the pumpkins launch out of the air cannon with 50 psi air pressure but they were able to launch one themselves. It was awesome! The crazy thing is that the cannon is capable of launching with 200 psi air pressure. With that much power they could launch it half way to Delaware!
There was also a trebuchet to launch the pumpkins, a bake sale and tshirts sales and raffles. All proceeds are for the ALS foundation. So it was all for a great cause. We got some still pics and the video is of Kelsey & Nick's launch. The pumpkin went way beyond the target of stacked barrels but you can't see the landing on the video.
