- RULE #2 Insert two independent axles through your pumpkin and attach wheels to the axels. Spice up your racer with style.
- RULE #3 You may not attach your pumpkin onto a pre-fabricated chassis of any kind (skateboard, stroller, Tonka truck, etc., etc...) A.K.A. The "Anti-Stealth" Rule.
- RULE #4 NO EXPLOSIVES or PYROTECHNICS.
- RULE #5 No pushing or "helping" your Pumpkin Racer on the starting line. Our Race Officials have seen it all - the last minute shove, the hidden thumb flick, the early release, the remote control chassis, etc. etc. See Rule #6.
- RULE #6 NO CHEATING. Feel great about being honest and fair. Don't be tempted to be a Cheater Pumpkin. Use the honor system and obey the spirit of these rules. Our Race Officials have a keen eye and the Mallet-O-Justice ready to bring a Cheater Pumpkin down
WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND ON YOUR MOUSE, REPEAT THE SOLEMN PUMPKIN RACER PLEDGE: "I pledge to always do my very best and play by the rules because Cheater Pumpkins never prosper." This is the Pumpkin Racer PledgeCongratulations, Pumpkin Racer. Get out and enjoy the fun!
Friday evenings at the Sunapee Community Coffeehouse. This Friday, October 18th, listen to the sounds of the double neck guitar played by Ian Ethan Chase. His strikingly-unconventional, self-invented approach to the double-neck guitar is both magical to hear and fascinating to watch. And while his performances are visually intriguing to say the least, it is not showmanship but rather the sincere desire to accurately communicate the harmonically rich, multi-layered music of his composing. Shows are held downstairs at the Sunapee Methodist Church, 17 Lower Main Street in Sunapee, NH. All Events start at 7PM. Pass the hat donations for the musician. For more information, visit their website www.sunapeecoffeehouse.org
All events are free and open to the public, whether it be music, poetry, art exhibitions, etc. The next event will be held at the New London Historical Society meetinghouse, Little Sunapee Road, New London, NH from 5-7pm on October 4th. There will be an oral and musical presentation on the art of fiddling by Jaqueline Laufman and Dudley Laufman, known as the "Two Fiddles". They have been playing at New England barn dances since 1986. Click here for their web site to see other upcoming events.
