Pumpkin Hurl moves to longer firing range
MOUNT VERNON, Wash. — This year's Pumpkin Hurl now has more than a half-mile of space after a squash was tossed 1,866 feet last year.
The Northwest Agriculture Business Center has moved the event from Burlington to a Snohomish County farm with a 3,000-foot gourd firing range.
The sky will rain pumpkins Oct. 4. The center says at least seven teams from the West Coast and Canada will compete this year with their gourd-launching machines.
