Got a surprise last night watching the Pumpkin Chunking contest. Dawn Thompson from Delaware won this years contest. As soon as I saw her face I knew I had seen her before. Had to think a little to figure out where. It was at our annual Halifax County Heritage and Antique Machinery show. She and her husband pulled a smaller pumpkin cannon from Delaware down here and set it up for folks to take target practice at a 90 dodge caravan. Our show is in May and pumpkins were out of season so they used water melons. Also onions and used it like a shotgun. I tried to hit that van with 3 shots. Put one in front about 20 ft. and 2 went over it by a foot and it was sitting about 250 yards in a field. I was one of the first to shoot as I walked up about the time they just got set up. I remember them because they were such nice folks. Came back around later in the day and talked to them a while. By then the van was tore up. LOL Lots of folks shot the thing and it was fun. Mighty nice of them to come down here so folks could play with the cannon. Took a lot of work to build it and make it safe and was pretty powerful. The one she won with is about 4 times larger judging the size it looked on TV.
