Pumpkin launching party
Watch students launch pumpkins hundreds of feet into the air with a huge catapult at California State University, Fullerton this Saturday, November 1, 2008. The event is part of a fall festival that also includes carved-pumpkin contests (bring your own carved pumpkin), a catapult contest, music and entertainment.
The festival is at Fullerton's Titan Stadium. There will also be oddities such as a concrete canoe and a solar-powered dune buggy. The shin-dig is a partnership between the Discovery Science Center and Future Scientists and Engineers of America.
The fun starts at 9 am and goes until 2 pm. You can RSVP here.
The stadium is located at 800 N State College Blvd, in Fullerton.
