Description: |
Pumpkin Fling 2015 Cornell Cooperative Extension Long Island Autumn Festival at Suffolk County Farm Education Center in Yaphank, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.
The Pumpkin Fling, held at the Suffolk County Farm and Education Center in Yaphank, NY is Long Island's annual championship pumpkin catapult contest and a unique opportunity for students and adults to experience the joys and trials of designing, building and operating sophisticated mechanical devices.
Teams in our Youth and Adult divisions build a catapult or other propulsion device to fling a 3-5 pound pumpkin into an open field. Whichever team chucks the farthest wins. Other awards include audience favorite, precision and more. Thanks to L.K. McLean Associates for the use of their laser measurement equipment and to Tamara Stillman and Andrew Speiser for volunteering to read the measurements.
Plan to join us for a day filled with fun and excitement. The first fling is at 10:00AM. For more information contact Vicki Fleming, 4-H Youth Development Director/Farm Administator at vjf4@cornell.edu or 631-852-4602.
