Apparently they epically failed to plan ahead, do any investigation of what the move would entail, or even fill out the forms correctly.

Pumpkins will not fly this year in Delaware. For the first time in nearly 30 years, the World Championship Punkin Chunkin will not take place.

Organizers announced Oct. 3 that this year's event on the grounds across Route 1 from Dover International Speedway will be postponed until next November. The event had been planned for Oct. 24-26 at the same site as the Firefly music festival.

The amount of pre-planning, permitting and logistical detail required to hold the event in Kent County caught organizers off guard, said John Huber, president of the World Championship Punkin Chunkin Association.

That's a shame.  I got to compete there while in college.   Nothing like staying up late Saturday night and watching the big air cannons shoot glow-in-the-dark pumpkins over 1000 yards like tracers.

Ours was cancelled this year too. It was due to weather though. We had a bunch of rain so they could not get the chuckers into and out of the field without getting stuck.
