Punkin Chunkin Events for 2016

[redbowtie2066]

Is it too early to think about chuckin events in 2016? I am seeing a nice growth in regional contests throughout the country. How can we work together to minimize overlap on contest dates? Most contest sites are limited by land availability, weather, and/or harvest schedules. Please share your thoughts....

It's never too early to talk about 2016! I know of only 2 events with set dates right now (Texas Chunk and New Hampshire Extreme Chunkin), but I'll start the list. Most events seem to fall in October, due to what I would assume is a desire to throw pumpkins and thus the need to align with the harvest schedule for those events. That leave 4-5 weekends to work with, and overlap is bound to happen. This year the 17th/18th seemed to be the big weekend.

The 2016 Morton Illinois Punkin Chuckin contest is set for Saturday and Sunday October 15th and 16th. For information about the contest location, etc. please go to the Morton magnet website:

Thanks, I'll add this to the stickied thread at the top of this forum.

I'm keeping ears out on a few events that are still up in the air as to final dates, but I'll be posting those as I hear them. Anyone else that knows of a hurling event with set dates for 2016, let me know so I can keep the list current!
