We will provide a full and proper write-up of the 13th Vermont Pumpkin Chuckin' Festival shortly, but we will give you a preview of what the headline will be. The story is that Vermont's own Stapleton family has done it again. That is, setting world records for trebuchet pumpkin chuckin'. The pumpkin hurling that was on display this year at Stowe surpassed all previous years.
We can proudly state that the trebuchets competing at VTPC #13 are "pound-for-pound" the most efficient and powerful trebuchets in the world, for any trebuchet weighing more than 100 lbs.
With that said. There were some very nice pictures, stories, and videos that came out of this year's festival. Here is a short round-up of some of that coverage. A big thank-you, to everyone again who volunteered, supported, and attended the festival this year. Thank-you, thank-you!!
Here's a story from WMUR-TV:Participants use contraptions to throw pumpkins long distances at Vermont festival --
