Join us immediately after the service in our front field and remember to bring:

• a chair
• warm clothes/lap blankets
• pumpkins, gourds, or potatoes left over from the holidays (some will be provided if you don’t have any)
• a loud voice or noise makers to cheer on the contestants

It’s easy & everyone can participate! Set up your chairs, then step up to the registration table to print your name & age. Select a vegetable to sling, then sit back & wait for your name to be called at the slingshot. The first round will be for distance. The second round will be to hit a target.

Prizes will be awarded for:

• closest to the target
• farthest distance achieved
• shortest distance achieved
• most spectacular failure
• youngest participant
• oldest participant

Slung potatoes, small pumpkins, and small gourds will be left in the field to feed our resident deer and other critters. Larger pumpkins and leftover jack-o-lanterns (without wax or residue) are welcome to be hand-flung amongst the woods at the end of the event.
