2012 Last Fling Pumpkin Sling about Community and Country It’s about the fun challenge of slinging a 2-3 pound pumpkin through the air the furthest. It’s about the competition between some rival schools and some down home fun.
Last year a junk car was first driven, and then pushed, around the field of play as a target for machines. Ending with a showdown of two machines with “Dueling Banjos” playing in the background added an element of fun. But the event concept goes much deeper. For organizers it is an opportunity to show a slice of Americana, from a little town called Harmony, located in scenic Warren County, New Jersey.
This year’s Pumpkin Sling will be held at Millbrook Farm again – at the intersection of Montana and Millbrook Roads – on October 20 & 21, with a hurricane/snow date of October 27 & 28, 2012.
It’s About Education As fun as the idea of building this contraption is to students, it’s more importantly a learning experience. Physics, mathematics and problem-solving all come in to play, as well as team building and sportsmanship.
The Pumpkin Sling organizers have invited Matt Long cast member of the Travel Channel's hit show Sand Masters, to carve a sand sculpture that will incorporate the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington DC. Matt has carved more than twenty 9/11 and other memorial sculptures in sand.
Other attractions include hot air balloon launches, paragliding demonstrations, craft, non-profit and food vendors, live entertainment of Brady the Class Clown and a children’s tent.
