Bloomington’s Pumpkin Launch is canceled due to this weekend’s inclement weather. Officials hope the event will take place again next year.
Community Events Coordinator Bill Ream says the fair grounds tend to hold a lot of water and the big machines would be in danger of being stuck.
“It is a little disappointing that the teams don’t get to show off their hard work but they’ll have another chance next year,” he says.
Ream says four teams registered to compete in this year’s Pumpkin Launch.
