Thank You to All

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped, attended, or supported our 14th Annual Pumpkin Chuckin' Festival yesterday. It all helps the Clarina Howard Nichols Center continue its work to end domestic and sexual violence. 

It was a record-setting festival on all fronts. Our winning competitor Jonathan Stapleton had a winning world record hurl of 862 feet on his first throw. Full final results will be provided soon.

We want to fully echo this thank you from the Clarina Howard Nichols Center:

We’ll post more details soon, but tonight we just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who made the 14th annual Vermont Pumpkin Chuckin' Festival a huge success! It was a record-breaking year for attendance, funds raised, and pumpkin chuckin’ distance.

Thank you to the MANY volunteers who did everything - cleaned bathrooms, parked cars, collected entrance fees, measured pumpkin distances, staffed the kids’ activities, and so much more. 

Thank you to the pumpkin chuckin’ competitors for the time you put into building your trebuchets and for putting on a great show.

 
Thank you to the food/drink vendors who stepped up and handled the masses of hungry attendees after three of our vendors canceled at the last minute.

 
Thank you to the chili cook-off competitors and tasters.

 
Thank you to the craft fair vendors who brought amazing handcrafted items and added a whole new element to the event.

 
Thank you to the spectators who came out for a fun day and support Clarina’s work to end domestic and sexual violence.

 
We are already looking forward to next year!
