Join the Jenkintown Rec Board and Mayor Dobbs on Sunday, November 4th at 4:00 PM for the Annual Pumpkin Drop. With the help of Jenkintown’s volunteer firefighters, your leftover pumpkins will be ushered one by one aboard a custom-built pumpkin cage, and then hoisted up six stories high on a ladder truck. The crowd will count down and Mayor Dobbs will pull the trap door sending the pumpkins to the pavement at 50+mph, exploding in a shower of seeds and pumpkin meat. YUMMY!

Oh and don’t forget –  in addition to The Pumpkin Drop, Scare on the Square will start at 3:00 PM on Sunday, November 4th. So don’t forget to bring your bags for goodies and games! Also, feel free to wear your costume for this event! What’s better than getting to wear your costume at least one more time?
We hope to see everyone there on Sunday! It will be a ton of fun!
