APEGNB Pumpkin Fling Community Event Saturday Sept 22th 1-4:30 - celebrating 10 years with the APEGNB!

NBCC Miramichi and the Historic Chatham Business District Organizers are proud to announce the annual “APEGNB Pumpkin Fling” is ready to roll, blast, race and paint pumpkins again!
Presented by Engineers and Geoscientists New Brunswick (APEGNB), NBCC Miramichi and Sunny Corner Enterprises, the APEGNB Pumpkin Fling was conceived by members of the APEGNB’s Northeastern Branch as a way to encourage kids to pursue careers in science and engineering. “Every year, we try to introduce a new way of showcasing basic engineering principles such as aerodynamics, friction and gravity,” says coordinator and civil engineer, Kevin Gallant, P.Eng.

Prizes are awarded for those pumpkins that land closest to the trampoline target in the river. The day starts off at noon which includes a children's parade start and pumpkin registration. Events include pumpkin painting, face painting, a pumpkin roller coaster, Rotary Chili cook-off,  pony rides, vendors, pumpkin croquet and of course the main attraction: the pumpkin blast. Money raised during the event is earmarked for the kids healthy breakfast program in Miramichi area schools.

The APEGNB Pumpkin Fling is proud to be associated with community-minded businesses such as the City of Miramichi Recreation Department, Lockerbie Farms, Rodd Inns and Suites, All Decked-Out, Tozer's Insurance, Canadian Dollar Store, BMO, Station Wharf Marina, and Country Charm Bakery.

Thanks also to the many staff and student volunteers from the Applied Arts department at NBCC Miramichi for their generous support.
