Humpday Triviola
It's getting cooler in the mornings around here. The leaves are turning and here in the Midwest that means fall festivals are coming. One in particular is held every 2nd weekend in October southwest of Indianapolis to celebrate a specific creation made primarily of wood. In fact, this location is known as the capital of these creations. What are they and where is the location?

Hint
The creations in question are quite large and come in varying lengths.

I wonder if it is possible to bridge the gap between this question and my lack of knowledge about it ;-)

Oh! The sound of pumpkins thumping to the ground! One of the delightful sounds of fall. Boy oh boy, I've either nailed it or really chucked out a loser. I'm trembling in anticipation of which it is...
Cheers!

Dan "Covered it"...Answer
Parke County Indiana is known as the Covered Bridge Capitol of America. Each year they host one of the largest festivals in the Midwest...The Covered Bridge Festival. The county has 30 historic bridges and at one time had 52. Many of the bridges were built by Amish people of that area.
If you are ever in Central Indiana during the second week of Oct. the fetival has tours of the bridges and it's a great time to see Midwest fall color.

Re: Humpday Triviola
Man was I off base! I was thinking along the lines of the annual pumpkin chucking contest held somewhere in the midwest, usually involving trebuchets and other delightful means of hurling pumpkins obscene distances. Wooden bridges may be the correct answer, but I think the sight of a pumpkin majestically sailing through the air for hundreds of yards before splatting against the ground rather interesting in it's own right.
Sigh, maybe next time..
Cheers!
