My hubby has aspired to assemble a punkin chunkin team, but so far the planets haven't aligned (or should I say that his hopes have not been squashed?). :)

Has he thought about something smaller? Spud guns can be very rewarding on a much smaller scale. He can Google it on the internet Lots of fun. I know that your link shows a catapult, but pneumatic or ignition systems can hurl veggies, too.

I asked my husband about the spud guns and he said something to the effect that we'd had an extensive discussion about them and didn't I remember that? Must have slipped my mind. :)

Edit: I accidentally edited my earlier posting instead of quoting it in this new one as I'd intended. I hate when that happens. ;)

I used to own a house (actually a shack) in Rehoboth and, for the locals. the Punkin Chunkin was mainly an excuse to drink all day. Hopefully, none of those folks were actually working the catapults.
