What is B.Y.O.P.?
Bring Your Own Pumpkins! Don’t worry, if you don’t have a pumpkin we will have a bunch available. We will also have a ton of apples to use in the slingshots. Note: the smaller the pumpkin, the easier it is to use in the catapult (and the farther it goes!).

Is the event 21+?
Nope! Bring the kids, there’s tons for everyone to do at Pumpkin Chunkin’!

Do you allow dogs?
Because the event is outside, we will allow well-behaved leashed dogs. Please clean up after your pet and keep a close eye on them, there are flying pumpkins!!
