Title: BL trebuchet and a giant pumpkin
Post by: osage outlaw on September 26, 2015, 10:30:33 pm

We went to a local pumpkin festival today and the first thing I see is a Black locust Trebuchet made by a boy scout troop.  I didn't get to see it in action.

A girl my wife works with won the biggest pumpkin contest with this 947 lb monster.
