smashed pumpkin

Bring your pumpkins to Barrie on Saturday, November 1 for the annual Pumpkin Smash! See how far you can throw them down the hill and watch them smash.

Once everyone has had the chance to throw their pumpkin, collect the remains and throw them in the compost bin. Last year, we collected 3.02 tons of smashed pumpkins. Let’s beat it this year!
