A great event which embodies the American Spirit. We should consider a Freeper reunion here after each election.

I go every year. It's fantastic! Just about the coolest thing to ever happen in Delaware. But rumor is they're moving to Maryland because DE's not big enough...

On a smaller scale, around here we have the annual Manitou Springs fruitcake toss, first weekend in January. It's a real hoot. My kids and I are planning to build an onager this year.

OMG, we went to this once years ago when I lived in NJ. I remember we took the Cape May-Lewes Ferry. It was such a fun day for us!!!
Great FReeper stuff! Thanks for posting - you brought back good memories :-)

I can't figure out how the catapult slung a pumpkin over a thousand feet.

Pumpkins propelled by a variety of home-brewed artillery smashed to Earth in a Sussex County field Sunday in the closing chapter of the 2004 World Championship Punkin Chunkin. Overall, bragging rights for the greatest distance - and the prestigious World Championship Punkin Chunkin trophy - went to Old Glory, an air-powered cannon with Sussex roots in Georgetown and Milton.
After watching 60 Minutes' piece on Burt Rutan last night, I want them to do the ultimate:
Be the first to put a pumpkin into orbit.

Good Lord, they chunked a pumpkin almost a mile! We are falling behind in this noble endeavor.

Whoo! I read the headline and thought this was the Blue State equivalent of the firing on Fort Sumter. Bob Beckel and Lawrence O'Donnell would have to be leading the charge. ;-)
