SUMMARY:Jack SPLAT!
DESCRIPTION:Don’t toss your Jack-O-Lanterns in the garbage—let us toss them from up high instead! This free outdoor event gives your carved creations one last hurrah for the Halloween season\, presented by New Pioneer Food Co-op and Urban Acres Realtors (Sean McIntyre\, Ben & Whitney Russell\, Tundi Brady\, Cathy Pugh\, and Nicki Thompson). \nWe will be throwing the pumpkins off the northwest corner of the parking ramp next to Chauncey Swan Park.

Come for the SPLATS\, but stay for outdoor activities and a warm breakfast from local food vendors. \nHow It Works:\n\nPumpkin drop-off will start at 9:15 a.m. in Chauncey Swan Park on Saturday\, November 1st.\nActivities will begin around 9:30.\nPumpkin SPLATS will start at 10 am. All pumpkins will be dropped by our team.\n\nPrep Your Pumpkin:\n\nPumpkins must be gutted (this is Jack SPLAT\, not Jack THUD).\nPlease remove candles\, artificial lighting\, or any other decorations that are in or attached to the pumpkin. This includes stickers\, ribbons\, and remnants of candle wax inside.\nWe compost Jack Splat pumpkins. Ones that have been painted or coated with a preserving sealant should not be added to a compost pile. Pumpkins coated with glitter should not be composted.\nWe reserve the right to reject your pumpkin if it doesn’t meet our Jack Splat standards.
