Join us on Family Weekend for a smashing good time at the 16th Annual Pumpkin Drop. Sponsored by the Physics and Astronomy Club, this pre-game, gravity-bound extravaganza celebrates the fun side of science by dropping pumpkins of all shapes and sizes from the highest point in Pullman: the 12th floor of Webster Hall. Additional entertainment and demonstrations for kids of all ages will be on site as well.
