Event Description:
An Illinois Extension Pumpkin Smash is a fun way to teach people about the importance of composting while keeping pumpkins out of the landfills. At our SVCC event, members of the Sauk Valley can bring their pumpkins free of candles, glitter, and other non-organic material and dispose of it at one of our 6 smash stations. Lets get messy and compost some pumpkins! Looking for people to help: - Direct people traffic - Assist with smash stations - Move smashed pumpkin guts further into the field

Special Notes:
Suggested dress: Please wear long pants and close-toed shoes. Long sleeves and gloves are recommended. Dress for the weather but also dress to work with smashed pumpkins. We will be outside for this event. Please park in the East lot and walk up to the pumpkin field by the entrance to SVCC. Follow the signs.
