Video of the giant pumpkin drop and launching pumpkins with trebuchets (catapults) at the 2007 Frankfort Fall Festival. You can see a photo of what the pumpkin did to the car in the Benzie County group on Flickr!
The participants were Traverse City West Senior High, Glen Lake High School (whose videos somehow got corrupted – sorry), Manufacturer's Technical Academy of Traverse City and Grand Traverse Academy. They wanted to thank the MEEMIC Insurance Co for sponsorship.
Also a big thanks to Song of the Lakes for letting us use their song Haul Away Joe!

O.K. What was the distance for the winning catapult throw??
Hey Bob, it was 210'!
Here's an article with some photos from the drop at mLive and an article in the Detroit Free Press about pumpkin chucking in the Midwest.
