Description

Pumpkin Drop at Cape Henry Lighthouse! Please note: This event is only available to our military community and personnel due to base access restrictions. Pumpkin Drop Rules: Using only household items, youth will prototype a way to protect their pumpkin from breaking when dropped from the 157 foot tall Cape Henry Lighthouse! Pumpkins entering the drop contest are highly recommended to be a small 2 pound Field Trip pumpkin. (Field Trip Pumpkins can currently be found at Hunt Club Farm.) All participants must provide their own pumpkin and construct their own contraption. The pumpkin contraptions will be dropped by our designated pumpkin droppers who will be safely harnessed in at the top of the Cape Henry Lighthouse. The contest drop will be judged by based on three merits: 1. Creativity of contraption. 2. Damage of pumpkin. 3. How close the pumpkin lands to the marked target below. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive prizes! All children in attendance will receive a goodie bag while supplies last! We will also be having a costume contest, so dress in your Halloween costumes! Please feel free to email our main event Sponsor Dory Bailey at [email protected] with any additional questions. Keep in mind that this event is only offered to our NSW community and Ft. Story community. With the bases being on Hepcon level C, anyone without a military ID or sponsor will not be permitted on base. Covid Precautions: This event will be held outdoors. There is pleanty of space for social distancing. Please bring lawn chairs/blankets for spectating. We anticipate a decent sized crowd! Parking is available at public beach access points and the Chaple parking lot. In the event of inclement weather, we will be rescheduling the event for an upcoming saturday in November.
