We had a beautiful, clear warm day at the Mayo Event field in Stowe, VT for the fourteenth annual Vermont Pumpkin Chuckin Festival. There were 11 teams of chuckers, 9 teams in the Chili Cook-Off, 4 food trucks, over 40 craft vendors, 50 volunteers, and roughly 1700 spectators enjoying the hurling, chili judging, craft show, food trucks, 2 bands, a giant robot roaming around the field, kid activities, volleyball tournament and, last but not least, a return visit from crowd favorite Dolores the Tortoise with her handlers. We raised nearly $30,000 for the Clarina Howard Nichols Center (double what the event has raised in the past). The Center’s director, Becky Gonyea, and her merry band of volunteers did an amazing job planning and running the festival for the fifth year in a row.
