GLEN ELLYN, IL — Halloween has come and gone, so now it's time to figure out what to do with that quickly deteriorating old jack-o'-lantern. Grab a baseball bat and a shovel and head to Glen Ellyn Park District's Pumpkin Smash Saturday for a fun and sustainable way to dispose of those old gourds.
Those who don't want to partake in the pumpkin smashing can just drop off their jack-'o-lanterns.
