‘Punkin Chunkin’ May Be The Best Possible Use Of Pumpkins

What do you get when you mix catapults and pumpkins? 'Punkin Chunkin' of course, and it's quickly becoming an art form in Clayton, NY.

Every fall, Chunkin enthusiasts gather in Clayton for the annual 'Punkin Chunkin Contest,' where groups bring their homemade contraptions to see who can launch a pumpkin the farthest into the St. Lawrence River.

Contestants have been bringing out their garage-built catapults and trebuchets to Clayton for the last seven years, and this year was no different.

One of the fan favorites is the 'Chunk Norris,' which may have had the longest launch of the weekend.
