Mid-Atlantic Makers should consider a road trip to this unique sporting/artillery/MAKEing event: The trebuchets, air cannons, and rotary machines are all great fun to watch — it’s like a cross between a tractor pull, a Gallagher show, and a Boy Scout jamboree!” – Friday Nov 3rd, 2006 at 7:30 PM, Millsboro, Delaware, World championship PunkinChunkin – Link.

If anyone is going to this, let us know – Thanks!

I’ll be going on Sunday, the last day. This will be my seventh straight year. I second the recommendation to come if you can. Just the sight of the giant barrels of the pneumatic cannons rising over the trees as you approach the field makes it worth while.
