Smash jack o’lanterns & aid composting efforts in the process

From the “Monster Mash” to the Pumpkin Smash! Happy Trash Can Curbside Composting will again host the annual event on Saturday, November 3rd in the north lawn outside the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture from 9am–noon. Bring your pumpkins and jack o’lanterns and smash them to pieces! Happy Trash Can will then collect the remnants and compost them at their local site. The weekly Bozeman Winter Farmers’ Market will be happening inside the Emerson, so you can also stock up on some fresh produce for fall cooking. The Pumpkin Smash is FREE and fun for the whole family! Refreshments will be provided.
