Hope Motorsports Group hosted its inaugural Pumpkin Smash on Saturday.

An estimated 250 people attended the event, which featured mini-stock races and two demolition derbies.

There was also a large bonfire made up of 100 pallets burning 25 feet in the air on the mound of dirt just behind the derby arena as well as a pumpkin toss with pumpkins donated by Cooper’s Foods.

“All in all it was successful and we will be able to make a sizable donation to Hope Search and Rescue,” said Scott Medlock, with Hope Motorsports Group.
