Question: Where Can We See Pumpkin Chucking?

A reader writes: "I'm the organizer of an 800-member social group in Connecticut, and I'm trying to find where we can go see some pumpkin chucking. You're my guru for great ideas, so I thought I'd turn to you. Do you know of any [pumpkin chucking festivals] in New England?"

Answer: The king of all pumpkin chucking events is Punkin Chunkin in Delaware in October.

But here are some smaller New England pumpkin chucking events that your group might enjoy:

• Pumpkin Catapult at the Milford Pumpkin Festival in New Hampshire
• Vermont Pumpkin Chuckin' Festival
• Damariscotta Pumpkinfest in Maine
• Machias Harvest Fair and Pumpkin Chucking in Maine

Have a fun fall!
