Thank you to everyone who supported this year’s Punkin’ Chunkin’ Fall Festival through sponsorship! We’re incredibly grateful for the enthusiasm and generosity of our community and local businesses — thanks to you, this year’s event is shaping up to be one of the best yet.
All sponsorship opportunities have now been filled or are no longer being accepted for this year’s festival.
We encourage anyone interested in supporting next year’s event to check back in the summer for updated sponsorship information and opportunities to get involved.
The Punkin’ Chunkin’ Fall Festival is one of Central Pennsylvania’s most exciting fall traditions, attracting over 15,000 attendees annually to Bald Eagle State Park. Organized by the all-volunteer Howard Fire Company, this event is not only a community favorite—it’s also a major fundraiser that helps support fire and rescue operations throughout the year.
Your sponsorship helps us continue our mission while giving your business valuable exposure and goodwill in the local community.
Every chunked pumpkin is an opportunity to hear your name announced across the event. Send a short, fun promotional message (1–3 lines) and we’ll read it before your sponsored pumpkin launch.
