Beware of Flying Pumpkins! Jack-O-Launch@PumpkinFest is just around the corner, and Aurora is recruiting for teams.

Each year, dozens of teams descend upon Aurora with giant trebuchets, catapults and air cannons in tow, ready to see who can dress the craziest, behave the oddest and chuck a pumpkin the farthest. There’s music and games and big, big crowds. And if you’ve never had the pleasure of helping a pumpkin soar, it’s an event you just got to sign up for.

Physics teachers: what a way to teach the laws of physics!
Scout leaders: here is a way for troops to earn engineering badges.

Don’t just watch the launch, be a part of it. After all, it’s the most fun you can have with a pumpkin. Interested, or know someone who might be? Call 303-739-7756 or email: maddlema@auroragov.org
