🎃 Did you know that over 1 billion pumpkins are tossed into U.S. landfills each year?

Join Conservation Nebraska at Scatter Joy Acres (4107 Waverly Rd, Murray, NE 68409) for a fun, family-friendly solution — our Pumpkin Smash Bash! Bring your old pumpkins and smash them for a good cause. Not only is it a blast, but your pumpkin pieces will become a tasty treat for the animals at the farm!

Enjoy a day full of activities, including:
🎃 Smashing your pumpkins
🧒 Playing on the playground
🦙 Visiting the animals
🤝 Connecting with Conservation Nebraska’s AmeriCorps members
📣 Learning from other local organizations
🍴 Grabbing delicious bites from food trucks

Admission Details:
● The Smash Bash event is free and open to all!
● Entry to the petting zoo requires regular paid admission. Once inside, you’ll even have the option to feed your pumpkin pieces to the animals!
● Prefer not to visit the petting zoo? No worries — smash your pumpkin and we’ll make sure the animals get their snacks later!

Pumpkin Guidelines:
To keep the animals safe, please bring only natural pumpkins — no paint, chemicals, candles, lights, or decorations of any kind. Only pumpkins in good condition will be accepted for animal
feed.

🎃 Can’t stay for the event but still want to donate your pumpkin? Feel free to drop it off during event hours — we’ll take care of the rest!

Come smash with us and help keep pumpkins out of landfills — while giving local animals a fall treat they’ll love!
