Ever wanted to throw a pumpkin? Our pumpkin farmers designed this venue as a way to have fun and also use up their left over pumpkins.
There will be over 100 machines, competing in five categories: human power, centrifugal, catapult, trebuchet and air cannon. Firing starts at 8AM each day.
This activity has really caught on, as the evening entertained includes Country Star Randy Owens, and the Charlie Daniels Band.
Where: Dale Wheatley's Farm, a mile east of the intersection of Rt. 404 and Rt. 18, Bridgeville,DE 19933.
When: Friday October 31 through Nov.2

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP PUNKIN CHUNKIN 2008
Woodland Ferry Will Reopen On 10/29/2008
Since about 1743, there has been a ferry crossing at the Woodlands over the Nanticoke River. James Cannon is credited with starting the ferry around 1743.
The ferry ( 3 car capacity, and only a tenth of a mile in length) has been run by the county since 1883, the state has since taken over operation. A new 6 car ferry will resume operation on October 29th 2008. The county has grown a lot since 1961 when the last ferry was put into service. The new ferry doubles capacity, boy did we need that, now traffic jams will be down to normal 3-5 cars!!
The new ferry, with improvements cost the state $3.2 million
