| Next we join the crowd to witness the pumpkin toss. This is the trebuchet device that does the tossing. The worker is about to load a pumpkin in the underneath trough, connected to the trebuchet tip via a sling and long cable. When the tip is released, the 11,500-pound counterweight comes down and the pumpkin takes a LONG ride, way past the castle! |
