Living Life Is The Bravest Thing Anyone Can Do

Many of the things we do every day have the ability to end the successful (or not) run we've currently got going on in life.

I love carving pumpkins. It’s a thing we do. However, every year I struggle to figure out what I should do with my used pumpkins after Halloween ends. We’ve cooked with them, but that’s so much work. We’ve just thrown them out, but I feel bad about wasting them. This year, we’re taking them to Medieval Times’ Schaumburg Castle.

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament will be collecting post-Halloween Jack O’ Lanterns for use in its Knights’ combat training. For every past-peak pumpkin turned in at the Schaumburg Castle between Nov. 1 and Nov. 4 (National Pumpkin Destruction Day, yes that’s a thing), Medieval Times will reward the bearer with a 40 percent-off voucher for an adult ticket to the popular entertainment venue. Additionally, for the first 200 pumpkins received, Medieval Times will donate a complimentary ticket to USO of Illinois for distribution to local military families.

Ready-to-be-discarded pumpkins can be turned in for discount ticket vouchers at the Medieval Times management office, 9 am to 5 pm, on Thursday, Nov. 1, and Friday, Nov. 2, or the Castle’s main entrance, starting one hour prior to show times. Main entrance drop-offs will be accepted: 6:30 – 8 pm, Thursday, Nov. 1, and Friday, Nov. 2; 3:30 – 8 pm, Saturday, Nov. 3, and 3:30 – 5 pm, Sunday, Nov. 4.

Vouchers are valid for all performance thru the end of February and are redeemable for $25.95 off adult tickets, bringing the price for a four-course dinner and tournament to just $36.00. Vouchers may not be used in conjunction with any other promotional offer and are not valid on prior purchases.

Located just off I-90 in Schaumburg, IL, Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament is the only entertainment venue of its type in the Midwest. The colossal stone castle beckons guests of all ages to enjoy an adrenaline-charged live jousting tournament, filled with awe-inspiring horsemanship and falconry, knights engaged in rousing displays of strength and skill, and a four-course feast fit for a king.

We attended a couple years ago with Wesley and he loved it. We’re looking forward to going again soon and introducing Theodore to the adventure within those castle walls.
