BAY VILLAGE, Ohio — Students from Bay Middle School gathered outside Thursday for a unique gourd tossing event called Punkin Chunkin. Students used everything from catapults to slingshots to see who could chuck a pumpkin the farthest.
Brent Illenberger, a science teacher in the district, started the event four years ago after being inspired by a national Punkin' Chuckin' event hosted in Delaware each year. For weeks leading up to the event, students researched and designed their devices. Along with the help of parents and other adults, their creations were brought to life and put to the test.Most decorative deviceMost team spiritAccuracy
