The Halloween fun is over, but instead of throwing your pumpkin in the trash, the city of Sheridan has ways to recycle them, and one of those ways could be amusing.

This Saturday (November 5th) is the 2nd Annual Sheridan Fall Pumpkin Festival, from 10am until 2pm at Blacktooth Park.

Those who bring pumpkins to the event can simply recycle them, launch them out of a slingshot at a target, or smash them to a pulp with a baseball bat.

A number of pumpkin games and activities will be available for visitors to engage in as well.

Seliena Parker is the Sheridan City Recycling and Solid Waste Coordinator.

She says last year’s inaugural was a ‘smashing’ success, so to speak, and it helped promote recycling.
