Punkin Chunkin

Every year towards the end of October the Howard Fire Company holds a one day festival at the scenic Bald Eagle State Park in Howard, PA.  The main attractions of the festival are the catapults, trebuchets, and (possibly) air cannons that launch pumpkins hundreds of feet through the air and send them splashing down into the nearby lake. 

Hence why we call it Punkin’ Chunkin".  

The one day festival hosts a number of other attractions such as:
Nearly 100 Local Craft Vendors
Local Food Vendors
Hayrides
Smaller Trebuchets for the Public to Shoot
Children’s Games and Activities
Emergency Vehicles
Pumpkin Pie Eating Contest
Farmer’s Market

FREE to attend! 

There are absolutely no parking or admissions costs to come to the festival.
