Its official! Punkin’Chuckin’ is coming to Champaign County on November 1, from 12 noon – 4 pm. Watch Acme Catapult, LLC, World Champions, launch as many as 30 pumpkins 1200 feet and 600 feet in the air. Talk about HANG TIME!!! This is going to be fantastic!

Where you ask? At Pinehurst at the corner of Prospect and Olympian off of I57, in north Champaign. Just go past the Meijer and Walmart. Its the next intersection after Interstate Drive! Rumor has it that there might be an MTD Bus as a target as well as a porta-potty.

Its free to the public. I can still use a couple of major sponsors to help pay for the ACME catapult Company to come, insurance and supplies. AND,we are still looking for Pumpkin Sponsors. Each of our launching pumpkins is “adoptable” and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The most accurate pumpkin will be come the new reigning WORLD CHAMPION – at title surely to be challenged next year. Prizes? you bet – 1st place takes the traveling trophy and a ball cap. The pumpkin launch times will be printed in advance.

Other stuff to do? Yup! We will have a seed-spitting contest, a hand-throwing contest and some vendors for food. There will also be entertainment through-out the afternoon! Check back for MORE INFO TO COME!
