What to expect
Bring old pumpkins, gourds and squash, head to the 10th floor and follow staff to the Launch Pad outside the north banquet hall. From there, throw them off the building at a target in the parking lot to win prizes. Eckert's Farm supplies a limited number of pumpkins, and New Earth Farms composts what is left afterward.
Good to know
- General admission or member pass required
- Bring your own pumpkin; a limited number are provided
- No paint, glitter or stickers on pumpkins (they are composted)
