A Pumpkin of course! Didn't know Pumpkins can fly? Here's a chance to see for yourself. October 28th is when pumpkins fly high over Armstrong/Spallumcheen. Teams bring their people-powered catapults to the fairgrounds and compete for the longest distance and closest to the bulls eye - which you win if you put a pumpkin right through the bull's eye like last year. Whether you bring a team to compete or just come and watch - this is an event like no other. Just one of the fun events at the 6th Annual Harvest Pumpkin Festival - check out

September 30th 2006, the tradition CONTINUES! Bring the family to Spallumcheen for the 30th Annual Plow Match competition and see the HUGE tractor display on Rashdale Road! See the traditional way of plowing - no motorized vehicles - just men and their horses! Check out equipment from days gone by. To get there, follow Hwy 97A past the lights at Armstrong and then turn left on Rashdale - across from the Log Barn Fruit stand - then follow the signs. For details, call Nick at 546-2449! Stay and play this fall...in Armstrong/Spallumcheen!
