Pumpkin Smash

An organization, Scraps to Soil, in Idaho Springs promotes sustainable practices including composting. The Lions Club has supported their efforts.

Each year, Scraps to Soil holds a Pumpkin Smash on the Saturday after Halloween to promote composting the pumpkins.  But first, everyone has to have fun smashing the pumpkins with everything from a giant hammer to a catapult.

The event has become a major "happening" in town.  The Lions Club had a booth at the event this year, with a good chance to publicize who we are and what we do.

Lions Laura and Barb did all the work, and Lion Jim stopped by for a little while.

Our support for the Scraps to Soil sponsors seems to have been appreciated:
