May the Smashing of Pumpkins Commence!

Got some pent-up pandemic frustration? Maybe watching pumpkins explode will provide comic relief. If so, the Pumpkin Plop, in which staff from the Children’s Museum of Sonoma County throw pumpkins off a roof, might be just the ticket. The event is the most popular part of the museum’s annual Halloween celebration, Funtazmagoria. Onlookers won’t just watch the smashing of pumpkins but will also explore pumpkin guts, as well as make magic potions, and hang out in a Glow-in-the-Dark Studio and a Mad Scientist Lab. The event will be held on October 29, 1–8 p.m., at the museum, in Santa Rosa, and is $15. For more information, go to cmosc.org
