Pumpkins arrive early this year! We are scheduled to unload pumpkins Saturday, October 5th. More details to follow but mark this date on your calendar. We need all hands on deck to unload the pumpkins. Even if you cannot lift a pumpkin, you can help bring water to the unloaders and help in many other ways. The pumpkin patch will run every day through October 31st. Please plan on volunteering to work a shift. This will count towards community service hours and you could earn credit toward future youth events.
