Nonprofits

The World Championship Punkin Chunkin Association supports the mission of the below organizations by contributing to the funding that keeps them going strong. A share of the proceeds from our annual Punkin Chunkin event in November is earmarked for charitable giving. We are proud of our relationship with these vital nonprofits and the work they do to make life better for those in need.

History

Members of the Punkin' Chunkin' Association, sponsors of the annual World Championship Punkin' Chunkin' event honored four men this year considered the founding fathers of what has become a nationally recognized event.

Wayne Sennett, a punkin' chunker and member of the association, presented plaques to John Ellsworth and Trey Melson in Ellsworth's Preservation Forge blacksmiths shop. Sennett presented a plaque to Bill Thompson during the awards banquet held last week. Arrangements are being made to get Donald "Doc" Pepper's plaque to him.
