Organizers say Nov. 2 was another great Saturday for the third annual Punkin Chunkin sponsored by the Spaulding Memorial Library in Sebago. The event allows participants to hurl fruit and vegetables in a trebuchet with the best winning prizes

Jordan’s Store supplied pizzas and T-shirts for the winners. Cyndy Adams of Sebago donated the apples, and Bell Farms in Auburn donated the pumpkins that were used in the slings. Everyone had fun launching their apples and pumpkins at targets or going for distance across the ball field, organizer Claudia Lowe said.

This year’s winners were Jack Westervelt, Junior Division, and Kim Colson, Senior Division, who each won a Golden Pumpkin Trophy and a Jordan’s pizza for the highest points.

Dakota Desantis and Kiann Drown each won Jordan’s T-shirts in the drawing.

Pat Fuller won the 50-50 and donated it back to the library for a book in memory and honor of her mother, Dot Henry, a former member of the Friends of the Library.

Next year’s event will be held on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 2, from 1-3 p.m. rain or shine, so as not to interfere with sporting events, hunting and holiday fairs. Mark your calendars and come have some fun.
