Brace yourselves, spud-slingers – it’s time to lock, load, and launch some taters at Stump City’s legendary Potato Cannon Contest!

Got aim? Got attitude? Got a potato?

We’re putting your skills to the test with three thrilling events:

• The Beer Can Pyramid Smash – physics and fury unite.
• The Bullseye Blast – precision matters, kinda.
• Mystery Mayhem Challenge – to be announced!

Registration starts at 2 PM sharp

Trigger-happy but cannonless? No problem! From 2 – 3 PM, you can take your shot with the official Stump City Spud Launcher, under expert (and insured) supervision.

Music TBA
