Come smash your pumpkin tomorrow, Nov. 7, at the Barrington Pumpkin Smash! 🎃

Join us from 9-11 a.m. in the upper parking lot of Barrington High School's Field of Dreams complex, adjacent to Hart Road.

Bring your pumpkins and help us turn them into compost instead of throwing them away! It’s a great way to reduce waste and give back to the environment.

Attendees will also have the chance to see a massive 1,115-pound pumpkin, generously donated and grown by Barrington Public Works Fleet Foreman Matt Heller. The pumpkin recently earned fourth place in a pumpkin-growing contest, and now it’s ready for one final spotlight. Watch as this giant meets its smashing fate at the event!

Yesterday, Village President Mike Moran, Village staff, the Barrington Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) and community members celebrated Fix Sandwich Shop with a ribbon cutting hosted by the chamber.

After first testing the concept as a pop-up in town, Fix officially expanded into its own storefront in downtown Barrington at 113 S. Cook St. earlier this year. Alongside signature Italian street sandwiches served on house-made schiacciata and ciabatta breads, the menu features personal pizzas, Lavazza coffee and freshly baked panettone available year-round in seasonal flavors ahead of the holidays.

Stop by Cook Street to check out their space and try the menu for yourself! For more information, visit fixsandwichshop.com.
