Morton Grove Pumpkin Smash
November 7 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
The Morton Grove Environment and Natural Resource Commission will be hosting the annual Morton Grove Pumpkin Smash on Saturday, November 5 at the North end of Harrer Park. Join us from 9 am to 12 pm for family fun with refreshments provided.
A pumpkin smash is a way to keep pumpkins out of the landfill and a great way to have a smashing good time with your neighbors and community. Bring the kids, and watch public works raise our pumpkins up high in their giant dump truck, before watching the pumpkins fall, smashing and crashing into the composting bin below.
We need your pumpkins for the event! Bring your gourds, jack-o-lanterns, and decorative pumpkins to the convenient drop off location, in front of Park View School on Lake Street. Then stick around in the viewing area, enjoying refreshments and spending time with neighbors and friends, to watch your pumpkin crash into the compost heap. This is an outdoor event, so please dress for the weather.
