SATURDAY'S MUST-SEE EVENT
is the great
PUMPKIN PITCH!
This unique event features the two-time world championship team, Tre-Barbaric, along with this year's competitors. Will there be a new world champion?...
All Pumpkin Pitch machines are built by the participating teams and are an incredible sight to watch! Teams use a medieval style of catapult called "trebuchet" to toss an 8-10lb pumpkin over 1600 feet! Go to www.thehurl.org to learn how you can build a treb. Come join us down at the pits!
