Pumpkin Smash

NORMAL — University of Illinois Extension will host a pumpkin smash from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 4, at Rader Family Farms.

Area residents are asked to bring pumpkins, carved or whole, for environmentally-friendly disposal. The event is in partnership with the Town of Normal and Illinois State University Department of Agriculture.

Organizers expect to gather nearly 1,000 pounds of pumpkins, which will be trucked off for composting at the University Farm. Rader Farms will have concessions and restrooms open for the post-season event.

Pumpkins should be free of candles, stickers, glitter or anything synthetic and non-compostable. Pumpkins covered in water-based paints are suitable for composting.
