Are you looking for something fun to do this Thanksgiving weekend?

Join the Ferndale Lion's Head and District Lions Club for the 22th Annual Pumpkin Toss, Saturday October 6, 2018.

Machines of all sorts; slingshots, catapults, trebuchets and even air cannons, compete to see who can chuck a pumpkin the farthest. Machine set up and warm up throws begin at 11am with the competition beginning at 12:30pm.

The Pumpkin Toss takes place at the farm of Delbert and Beverley Richardson, which is located at 79 Forty Hills Road, Lion's Head.

The Lions will also be serving up hotdogs and hamburgers in the food tent.

Returning this year is the Lawn Mower Racing! The races will take place in between the rounds of Pumpkin Tossing. This event has grown each and every year, with many spectators coming back to see which machine will be the new Champ.

All proceeds from the event go to local projects supported by the Lions.

If you are interested in entering a competing machine, contact Delbert Richardson for details at 519-793-3160 Come out, have lunch and enjoy watching pumpkins fly through the Autumn Sky!

This is a free event, but donations at the gate are gratefully accepted.
