Event will be held at Central Washington University campus, between 2pm-4pm in DISC 302.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">Pumpkins will be available for purchase, and decoration supplies will be provided.</p> <p><br /> Want to decorate your own pumpkin, on your own time? Go for it! Bring in your decorated pumpkin, fill out a registration form, and pay the submission fee by 5pm on the 29th to ensure it&rsquo;ll be tossed off the roof at the <strong>Pumpkin Drop/Trashcano</strong> event, Oct. 30th.</p> <p><br /> After you&rsquo;ve given your pumpkin a fresh face, tell us its story by writing a short backstory (100 words maximum). This story will be read out for the audience before the pumpkin plummets to its doom!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><br /> Pumpkins must be submitted with a complete registration form and backstory. Registration forms will be provided on the 29th, and are also available online at https://www.cwu.edu/physics/PumpkinDrop.</p> <h4><br /> Pumpkins will be judged based on the following categories:</h4> <ul> <li>Loudest Splat - determined by decibel meter</li> <li>Best decorated &ndash; the pumpkin receiving the most votes</li> </ul> <p>Prizes: $100 to first place, $50 to second place, $25 to third place.</p> <h4><br /> Prices:</h4> <table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width:800px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;"><strong>Pumpkin</strong></td> <td style="text-align: center;"><strong>$5</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;"><strong>Decorating</strong></td> <td style="text-align: center;"><strong>$5</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;"><strong>Submission</strong></td> <td style="text-align: center;"><strong>$10</strong> to enter a pumpkin in one category, <strong>$15</strong><br /> to enter for both categories.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>&nbsp;</p> </h4 style="text-align: center;"></p style="text-align: center;"></p style="text-align: center;"></p style="text-align: center;"></table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width:800px;"></td style="text-align: center;"></td style="text-align: center;"></td style="text-align: center;"></td style="text-align: center;"></td style="text-align: center;"></td style="text-align: center;">https://www.cwu.edu/physics/node/2649Mon, 24 Oct 2022 16:50:58<p>The 2022 Pumpkin Drop &amp; Trashcano Event will be held on Sunday, Oct 30, 2022 beginning at 12 pm noon and run until the last trashcano<br /> erupts and the last pumpkin falls!
