Building Local Community Through Arts, Cultural, and Recreational Events, and the Exchange of Goods and Services
Did you know that you can compost your jack-o’-lantern when you need to throw it out? For folks that compost at home, this is a great addition to your pile! The pumpkin will decompose faster if you can break it up into smaller chunks, but even if you don’t take this step, it will still fall apart over time! Mix the pumpkin with your compost and let the microbes do their work!
The 40th Annual Decorah Park-Rec. Turkey Shoot will be held in the Decorah High School Main Gym on Tuesday, November 8, from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. In this fun family event, a parent and child team up, combine their ages to determine their competition bracket, and each shoot 10 free throws in an attempt to win a certificate for a free turkey. In addition, all teams are eligible for a prize drawing. Winning teams will be posted on the Park-Rec. website and Facebook page by 5:00 pm Wednesday, November 9. This is a free activity, no need to register, just show up! This event is sponsored by Deco Products Company, The Family Table Restaurant, Fareway, Gundersen Health System, T-Bocks Sports Bar & Grill, and Total Tree Care.
