How do you finish off a weekend dedicated to growing giant pumpkins?

Apparently by lifting more than 1,000 pounds of them 160+ FEET INTO THE AIR AND DROPPING THEM.

💥 THE PUMPKIN DROP IS BACK! 💥

📅 Monday, October 12, 2026
⏰ 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
📍 Great Salt Bay School — Back Field

This Pumpkinfest fan favorite is going BIG.

🎃 At least TWO giant locally grown pumpkins
🏗️ More than 160 feet in the air
💨 Speeds topping 60 MPH
💥 Some very unfortunate targets waiting below

You spend all summer carefully watering them.
You protect them from insects.
You worry about the weather.
You measure them.
You weigh them.

And then...
WE DROP THEM OUT OF THE SKY. 😂

Come see more than half a ton of giant pumpkin meet gravity in spectacular Pumpkinfest fashion.

You'll probably hear this one before you see it.

💥🎃 BOOM!
