Thousands of grinning jack-o-lanterns have been given a reprieve.
They can wipe those spooky smiles off their orange faces, though.
It’s only temporary.
National Pumpkin Destruction Day, the time many Georgia pumpkins would have met their maker, has been postponed from Saturday to Nov. 14 at The Rock Ranch, 5020 Barnesville Highway in The Rock.
There, the whole family can watch thousands of pumpkins get smashed, dropped and hammered into orange mush.
Admission is $15 per person for the Fall Family Fun Day. Ages two and under are free and there is a senior discount. Discount tickets are available at all Georgia Chick-fil-A restaurants.
“We teach people to be good stewards of the land and its resources and this is a way to keep these pumpkins out of the landfills,” said Adam Pugh, director of operations and business development.
