What to do with the left over pumpkins? Of course you can recycle them at curbside in your yard debris bin, but there is another option.
On Sunday, November 2nd, 2 to 5pm, bring your pumpkins, carved or not, to the fire tower at Westlake Park. (14165 Bunick Dr) Sponsored by the Lake Oswego Fire Department, you can climb the stairs in the fire tower and toss your pumpkins at a target below.
This free event is aimed toward supporting Hunger Fighters Oregon. Hunger Fighters Oregon is a food pantry in Lake Oswego (4 Monroe Pkwy A) that helps folks experiencing food insecurity. Participants in the pumpkin toss are asked to bring non-perishable, not expired goods to donate to the pantry. Thanksgiving/Holiday foods are particularly appreciated at this time of year. Think mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, broth, pie and bread mixes. All donations are appreciated.
Happy Halloween!
