Spooky season is right around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than a DUAL LIBERTY ARTS AND SCRAP EXCHANGE PRE-GAME PARTY?! Before hitting the streets for trick or treating, hang out in the Scrap sideyard for an afternoon of coke sand smashing (wear something you can dirty in!), testing out some smash contraptions ahead of the big day, bubble wrap stomping for the littles, a Make N' Break crafting station, and more from 12-3pm on Halloween. Join Liberty Arts’ Iron Breaking Captains to smash reclaimed scrap iron! Everything you destroy will become art during the Annual Iron Pour! Use sledgehammers to break down bathtubs and more. Get a great workout, release your rage, and support reuse art making. Additional PPE will be provided, but iron breakers must wear long pants and closed toe shoes to participate! Volunteers ages 15 and up are welcome. If you'd like to sign the participation waiver ahead of time, visit the sign up link. The Glass Jug will be on site selling beer and Durham Congee Corner will be serving up some snacks.

All Hallow's Smash is a collaborative Halloween pre-game party hosted by Liberty Arts and The Scrap Exchange in Durham featuring hands-on smashing activities, crafts, and local food vendors. If you plan to attend, there are a few safety requirements to keep in mind. To participate in breaking down the reclaimed scrap iron with sledgehammers, you must wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. Volunteers for the iron breaking must be at least 15 years old, and participants can sign a waiver online in advance. There is no admission fee to attend, and food and drinks will be available for purchase from Durham Congee Corner and The Glass Jug. This gathering is a smart stop for your Halloween afternoon because it gives kids a dedicated space to burn off energy and get messy before the neighborhood trick-or-treating starts.
