Don’t Trash It, Smash It!Join Tioga County Sustainability, Experience Tioga, and CCE Tioga at the Tioga County Fairgrounds on Saturday, November 8th from 11am – 2pm for our second annual pumpkin smash event!
What is a Pumpkin Smash?
A Pumpkin Smash is an effort to divert pumpkins from landfills by hosting an event to smash pumpkins after Halloween! This will also be a location for residents to drop-off jack-o-lanterns or whole pumpkins to be composted or donated to livestock. Don’t have a pumpkin to smash? Come to the Pumpkin Smash and smash one of the pumpkins supplied.
We will have pumpkin smashing, games, and light refreshments at this FREE fun fall event!
Tioga County 4-H clubs and animals will be on display — come meet some of their amazing youth, dedicated volunteers, and incredible 4-H project animals!
4-H is welcoming new youth members and adult volunteers for the upcoming 4-H year. They will have enrollment forms available.
-Please remove all candles and decorations prior to arrival
-Bring your own bucket or container if you would like to take home some of the smashed pumpkins to compost in your backyard or whole pumpkins to feed livestock
-Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult
-Please do not bring your own smashing implements - they will be provided for you (along with PPE!)
-This event will be held rain or shine!
-If you would like to donate a pumpkin for someone else to smash, drop-offs will be accepted between 10-11am on November 8th
