Every year on the first weekend after Halloween, thousands descend on the small town of Bridgeville, Delaware for the annual "Punkin' Chunkin'" competition. The competitors wield slingshots, catapults, trebuchets, and pneumatic air cannons, firing discarded pumpkins thousands of feet. Kojo gets a preview of this year's championship.
