Punkin Chunkin' Day

Wahoo! This weekend was the Punkin Chunkin' World Championship in Delaware!

Most people at this big event were photographing the amazing catapults and trebuchets that people from around the country (the world?) had built to compete in the contest. But as a first-timer, I couldn't resist trying to capture some of the characters in attendance. This appears to be the sheriff and his wife. (see notes)
