Community groups from all over Suffolk County are invited to participate in this year's Pumpkin Catapult Contest. The catapults (or trebuchets) entered in either the adult or youth categories can come in a variety of sizes and designs. From a simple rocking mechanism to full-scale trebuchets with dumbbell weights or sand for counterweights, the devices must be able to launch the 3-5 pound pumpkins.Contestants are asked to choose their pumpkins from the official pumpkin pile and have the opportunity to get them certified as to the weight.
