Habitat for Humanity Punkin Chunkin'

ALL FOR CHARITY........what a fun and creative event !! We spent yesterday at Hanley's Farm. A gorgeous piece of property established in the 1850's. It's an old farmhouse, gardens, barns, and acres of property donated to the Historical Society by the Hanley family back in 1982. The property still produces fruits, vegtables and has lots of horses and chickens all managed by the society. There were 2 trebuchets(as seen in the movie Kingdom of Heaven), pumpkin slingshots, tours, rock climbing, face painting, tie dye t-shirt making and lots of food to spend your money on.....all was donated to Habitat for Humanity. It was a beautiful, sunny day and we had a great time.

Per was the first person to attempt to sling 2 pumpkins together.......big hit with the crowd!!!

Not to be outdone....I tried to sling "3" together....splat-splat-splat !! Got lots of whoop and holler!!!

.......They needed more muscle to load the trebuchet, so Per helped.

.............A FLYING PUMPKIN.........TOO COOL !!!!

More festival fun!!

Yes, these are donated toilets for the festival........pick one to sling !!!! And.......there it goes !!! Click on the picture to see a flying toilet up real close.

Here's Per at the slingshot. The idea is to hit the bullseye with little pumpkins. Per said he was going for distance and overshot the cars by about 30 feet !!!!

Okay.....don't ask me why, but this is the waiting line to try your luck at pushing a urinal cake into a toilet seat shuffleboard style !!! It's all for charity.

And........a little entertainment too!!!

This one's for Christie........my horse lover!!!!
