Pumpkin Drop and Egg Swap

Local author and thriller writer Mary Romasanta is teaming up with The Point Food Truck Park and S.E.G. Engineering to host the Pumpkin Drop and Egg Swap-a unique community event designed to give Halloween leftovers a new life! On Saturday, November 2, 2024, from 12-3 PM, the San Antonio community is invited to bring their unwanted pumpkins or Jack-O'-Lanterns to Point Park in exchange for a half-dozen farm-fresh eggs, while supplies last.
All donated pumpkins will be composted and repurposed as nutrient-rich chicken feed, supporting local agriculture and reducing waste. This event not only offers a sustainable solution for post-Halloween pumpkin disposal but also promotes eco-friendly practices in the community.
"We're turning pumpkins into purpose," says Mary Romasanta. "By hosting the Pumpkin Drop and Egg Swap, we're helping the community take a simple action that benefits our local farmers, the environment, and even the chickens!"
