Fourth annual APEGNB Pumpkin Fling ready for blast-off Sept. 23
Organizers of the fourth annual APEGNB Pumpkin Fling are rolling out the air cannon and getting ready to blast pumpkins into the Miramichi River on September 23—all in an effort to acquaint festival-goers with basic engineering principles such as aerodynamics, friction and gravity.
“We’re excited about this year’s event,” says coordinator and mechanical engineer, Ray Ritchie, P.Eng. “Not only will we be blasting pumpkins up to 500 feet, we will also have an aerial lift platform on site so people can drop the pumpkins from 60 feet in the air.”
It will cost $5 per pumpkin blast or drop. Prizes will be awarded for pumpkins landing closest to the balloon targets in the river or the marked bull’s eye on the ground. Money raised during the event is earmarked for the healthy breakfast program in Miramichi area schools.
