Pumpkin Smash

Pumpkin Smash is a family-friendly event featuring carnival style, fun-on-the-farm games and activities for all ages and live bluegrass music from Just Us Gals and folk music from A Bit Off Beet.

Teams of engineers from Roper Engineering, Lafayette, GA, will be competing in a Pumpkin Chuckin’ trebuchet contest at noon, and guests are invited to bring their leftover Halloween pumpkins to launch following the contest.

Admission is just $2, or guests can bring one or more non-perishable food items each to donate to the Chattanooga Area Food Bank and get in for free. Tickets will be sold for games, activities, and non-alcoholic beverages. Please bring your state id if you plan to purchase beer.
