Great Pumpkin Toss

There are a number of ways you can dispose of your Halloween pumpkin - you can put it in your compost pile, you can put it in your yard debris container for curbside collection, or... you can toss it off the training tower at the Westlake Fire Station!

Bring your pumpkins, carved or not, to Westlake Park, 14165 Bunick Drive, on November 1 between 2 and 5 p.m. to take part in this free, fun event. Participants will climb the tower and toss their pumpkin to a target below.

Hosted by the Lake Oswego Fire Department, and joined by Lake Oswego Police and Library, this event supports Hunger Fighters Oregon (www.hungerfightersoregon.org), a small food pantry located in Lake Oswego dedicated to providing food and essential household items at no cost to those in need. To help, please bring a donation of non-expired, non-perishable food items. Thanksgiving/holiday foods and ingredients such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, broth, and pie/bread mix are appreciated.

5 PM – 6:05 PM: Sign ups!
6:05 PM – 6:40 PM: Draft picks & warmup games

After sign ups close, we’ll be doing a snake draft where captains choose members for their team. Please stay in the area between 6 – 6:30pm so we can find you after the draft is complete and get started on time!
If you show up late for signups there’s ~no guarantee~ you’ll get to play in the tournament. Please keep that in mind! If you’re running late but you know you’ll be there BEFORE 6:30pm, please message someone attending and ask if there are any options.

Teams will be made from a mix of beginner, intermediate, and advanced players to keep a fun and fair experience for everyone. Each team will be responsible for recording their own scores and turning them in. The winning teams of each machine will be determined by the highest combined score of everyone on the team, and teams will receive points based on how they placed. (4 points for 1st place, 2 points for 2nd place, 1 point for 3rd place) The winning teams for the whole event will be determined by which team has the most points after all the rounds. Each member of the winning teams receives prizes ranging from gift cards to free pinball wristbands to some of our merch!

Tournaments are open to people of all skill levels. We have some of the best players in the country here, as well as many new people getting into the hobby for the first time! It's a great way to improve your skills as well as meet friendly and fun people in the community!

After each tournament is concluded, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will receive points that will go towards picking an overall Pinny Cup winner that will receive a grand prize and a place in the Pinny Cup Hall of Fame.

There is no entry fee for the tournament, but players are required to purchase an unlimited pinball wristband for $12.

*Please note that the tournament is subject to slight modifications depending on attendance and machine availability. We may modify a tournament to have different group sizes or edit the number of rounds to ensure substantial tournament lengths.*

Ball Save Social Club Pinball Tournament

Introducing a new beginner-friendly monthly pinball tournament: Ball Save Social Club! Monthly on first Wednesdays.

The goal is to keep BSSC a casual space that boosts new players and further helps build the community. It’s also a place to highlight the skilled players in our community that are willing to share the secrets and take on a challenge. The tournament starts at 7:00 pm however if you are there at 6:00 pm and are a newer or lower skilled player the TD can find a higher skilled player to play some games with you to either teach rules or flipper skills.

Getting wrecked constantly can be exhausting and discouraging. So the difference with BSSC and other tournaments is the introduction of a handicap system. Inspired by bowling leagues and golf tournaments to help even the playing field and make it more fair. The format will be 4 games of a matchplay format with a one game final for the top 4.

Handicaps will be determined by player ratings in MatchPlay. Handicaps will be a percentage taken off of your score at the end of the game.

Expert: 40% off
A: 30% off
B: 15% off
C: 0% off
D, E and unrated: 0% off and can play one extra ball

🚨 Newsflash: Not a ride, but an indoor event!

  • Organizer: WeBike
  • Schedule: Come and go anytime between 6-8 p.m.
  • Location Details: Secure indoor bike parking is provided.
  • Audience: General (all ages)

WeBike events are for women, trans, and non-binary folks. This includes but is not limited to trans men, trans women, cis women, agender, gender queer, gender fluid, gender nonconforming, and Two Spirit people. Read more about WeBike: thestreettrust.org/webike

Interested in doing more on-the-bike adventures, but feeling limited by not having the right gear? OR, are you sitting on way too much gear that doesn’t really fit your needs? Well then, do we have the event for you!

Join us Monday, November 23 for a WeBike gear swap! Attendees are invited (but not required) to bring gently used gear to swap with fellow WeBikers. This can be whatever you think others might get use out of – bike camping gear and bike bags, commuting gear (panniers, rain clothes, etc.), cycling apparel, and more. If you don’t have any gear to contribute, we still want you there! Some of our amazing community partners have donated gear and helmets that we’ll contribute to the Gear Swap Pot. Plus, all leftover gear will be donated to our friends at Bike Farm. Win-win!

We’ll have bubbly water and light snacks to share, and attendees are welcome to bring more potluck-style snacks if that’s your jam. We’ll do it open-house style, so feel free to come and go whenever works for you during the event’s 6-8 p.m. window.

About WeBike:

WeBike is The Street Trust’s program to inspire more trans people of all genders, gender non-conforming people, Two Spirit, and women (both trans and cis) to incorporate a bike into their lives and use biking as a way to meet their transportation needs and personal goals. We aim to dismantle the barriers of cycling through rides, knowledge-sharing events, meet and greets, and mentorship. The WeBike-Portland private Facebook group is a resource, hub, and a way to connect with others riding in the area. If you have any questions about biking or great biking tips you want to share, post them there!

Make Sack Lunches for Individuals Experiencing Homelessness (age 6+) Referral

Each year, Transition Projects assists over 10,000 people experiencing homelessness. Roughly half of Portlanders experiencing homelessness are currently unsheltered. Our Navigation Team seeks to engage people where they are, build trust, and help make connections to needed support services. Sack lunches provide a healthy meal and help build connections. Volunteers will be asked to bring items to contribute to the sack lunches and the group will prepare 50-100 sack lunches to be given out by our Navigation Team to individuals currently unhoused. You will be assigned what items to bring. Bring your food items and work alongside other volunteers to make sack lunches including PB&J sandwiches, fruit, and snacks. We're counting on you! It is imperative that if you sign up for this project, you intend to be there and provide the ingredients that are assigned to you. When volunteers don't show up, we're not able to prepare the sack lunches. If you are unable to attend, please let us know ASAP! Please note: no volunteer will be turned away due to lack of resources. If bringing a food item is a hardship for you, please let us know. Opportunity Requirements: Volunteers must be 6 years of age or older to participate in this opportunity; any volunteer under age 16 must attend with a parent or adult chaperone. Click on "Express Interest" below if you are interested in helping out! **This is a Referral Opportunity, which means it is run directly by one of our nonprofit partners. Once you express interest, someone from the partner organization should follow up with you shortly to discuss confirming you as a volunteer for this opportunity. **Please note, your hours may not be recorded in your Hands On Greater Portland account since this is a partner-managed opportunity.
