Saturday October 11th

The city of Girard has asked us to participate in their Pumpkin Chunking contest! All interested members who would like to help build a pumpkin cannon, onager or trebuchet ???? please let me know (cathiesb@earthlink.net). I’ve been looking at some of these contests on the internet and had no idea how HUGE some of these machines were.   If you like challenges – this is it!!!! 

If we can’t build a machine to enter into their contest, we can still participate in their Pumpkin Festival!!!
