Here are some events going on around the Helena area from November 6th through November 13th.
CITY/COUNTY PUMPKIN SMASH
Friday, November 7th, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Performance Square on the Walking Mall
Have some pumpkins from Halloween lying around? Bring them to Performance Square to watch them drop down to the pavement as the City of Helena Parks and Recreation Department puts on a show for the whole family! As long as your pumpkins are unpainted and candle-free, they will be dropped, exploded, and smashed. They will then be collected and transported to the Lewis and Clark County Landfill to be turned into compost! This is a more fun and environmentally friendly option to tossing your leftover Halloween decorations in the trash!
