Pumpkin Smash

• Saturday, November 9, 2024, 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Don’t Trash It, Smash It!

Join Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tioga County, Tioga County Sustainability, Tioga County Farm Bureau, and Experience Tioga at Hilltop Community Farm on Saturday, November 9 from 11am – 2pm for our first 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 fun fall event!

• 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 located in the indoor riding arena, so it 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 9th
