## About

Pumpkin Smash is a free family event at the Idaho Springs baseball fields where people bring old pumpkins and learn about composting. It is open to kids, teens and adults alike. The Clear Creek County Library District will have a booth where families can learn about library resources. A fun, hands-on outdoor outing after Halloween that turns leftover pumpkins into a lesson about reducing waste.
