Pumpkins Sprout Wings at Moab Pumpkin Chuckin’ Festival!

The art of making inanimate objects soar with trebuchets, air cannons, catapults and slingshots will be back this fall as the Youth Garden Project presents the fifth annual Moab Pumpkin Chuckin’ Festival the day before Halloween in Moab, Utah. In 2009, the Guinness World Record was set at the Moab Pumpkin Chuckin’ Festival when an air cannon team launched a pumpkin 4,632 feet, a distance more than 15 football fields! This fall harvest festival includes contests for people of all ages, live music and entertainment, vendor booths, and a wide range of characters roaming the festival grounds. The festival’s main event, the Pumpkin Chuckin’ Contest, is open to anyone craving a challenging experience that requires creativity, ingenuity, and a love of launching stuff. Entrants compete in one of four divisions: catapults, trebuchets, air cannons, and sling shots with a special youth category in each division. No knowledge of physics or math is required to watch the launching competition or to enjoy live bluegrass music. In the spirit of an old time fair, the event features pumpkin pie eating and seed spitting contests, costumed Wiener dog races, a straw-bale maze for kids and other games and activities for children. A variety of talented local and regional artists will have their work available for sale. The event brings together community organizations, local farmers, artisans, and musicians with members of the community to celebrate the harvest – and is a perfect way to enjoy the crisp Utah fall weather amidst the towering LaSal Mountains and red rock mesas. Proceeds from the event support the Youth Garden Project, a non-profit in Moab that grows food, kids and community. The festival takes place on October 30, 2010 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Old Airport Runway just south of Moab, Utah. Discount tickets will be sold at WabiSabi and Arches Book Company. Tickets at the door are Adults $10 and Children $5. For more information on the Pumpkin Chuckin’ Festival, visit the Youth Garden Project’s web site at www.youthgardenproject.org or call 435-259-2326. 6A • October 2010 • Moab Happenings www.moabhappenings.com NATURE HAPPENINGS
