If the festivities in Damariscotta October 13 had a theme, it would be pumpkin destruction.
The second-to-last day of Pumpkinfest featured pumpkins being dropped, smashed, chunked and chucked throughout Damariscotta and Nobleboro.
Sunday morning opened with long-rang pumpkin destruction as the Pennsylvania-based “Big 10 Inch” pumpkin cannon was launching pumpkins into the Great Salt Bay.
Alongside the cannon a pumpkin trebuchet was busy launching pumpkins into the drink as crowds gathered in Nobleboro.
At 3 p.m. Sunday at Round Top Farms in Damariscotta pumpkins will be dropped from a 180-foot crane as Sunday’s pumpkin destruction continues.
