Demchak, a real estate agent by profession, made up his mind to bring the suggestion up to his fellow firefighters at their monthly meeting and many there thought the idea was worth asking the officials at Bald Eagle State Park and the Army Corps of Engineers for approval to hold such an event.
Demchak put together his plans for the event, and summoned a meeting with the park officials and approval was granted to hold the first Punkin Chunkin in October He then set about finding sponsors and vendors willing to attend with a goal of having about people come to the event the first year.
Josh Collins and his wife Becky moved to Howard in the spring of from Ulysses. New to Howard, Collins had become friends with neighbors and those in the community that were volunteer firemen and emergency medical responders who had encouraged him to join the fire department, but things were hectic with work, building a new home and starting a family, that he had put off making application to become a member of the fire department.
George seemed distraught about the situation, and I was just new and curious enough to ask some questions about what type of pumpkin launching machine he was looking for. The engineering firm was on board with the idea and even agreed to cover the cost of materials and some man-hours for the design and the construction of a trebuchet.
Collins and coworker Jamie Merrill at Stahl Sheaffer worked on a design and over the course of about six weeks Collins built the trebuchet in his own garage. In the meantime, Collins had reached out to a few other engineering firms to see if others would have an interest in designing and building a trebuchet so that we could have some competition on the day of the fall festival event.
Michael Baker Engineering responded to the challenge and they constructed a trebuchet as well, so there were two pumpkin launching machines for the first Howard Punkin Chunkin. The first Punkin Chunkin Fall Festival day arrived, and no one was prepared for the turn-out of people. Demchak and the food vendors were hoping for people to show up. And come they did — some 9, people attended the first Punkin Chunkin. Brunch is here!
