This free, family-friendly event is a chance to give your pumpkin a proper sendoff before winter. Pumpkins should be 2 - 7 pounds to be launched. Rotten pumpkins and jack - o lanterns may explode during launch, but that's ok, it will still be cool. We will try and launch anything we can fit in the basket, but if your pumpkin can't be launched you can still destroy it at the smashing station!
