Find out at the Ashwood Gardens & Nursery annual Pumpkin Chunk-A-Thon to benefit Hanover Arc. The Pumpkin Chunk-A-Thon will take place, rain or shine, on Saturday, October 25th from 10:00AM-3:00PM at 11374 Ashcake Road, Ashland Virginia.

The event will feature pumpkin chunking via a large wooden trebuchet. Watch & cheer as pumpkins fly, being catapulted in the air by our event sponsors. Pumpkins will be chunked starting at 10:30am.

There will also be many other activities for the whole family to participate in; mid-way games, hay rides, face painting, animals, including pygmy goats, and many other activities for the whole family. The Boardwalk Hot Dog food truck will be on site selling festive foods. Many fantastic raffle prizes will be awarded throughout the day.

All proceeds will benefit Hanover Arc, a non-profit organization that serves adults and children with disabilities and their families so that they may have “A Life Like Yours!”.

Please contact Hanover Arc at 804-798-2400 or info@hanoverarc.org for additional information or for sponsorship opportunities. We are also on-line www.hanoverarc.org and on facebook at www.facebook.com/pages/Hanover-Arc/141539198977 Please come out and show your support! We can’t wait to see you there!
