Pumpkin Patch Time




Hard to believe, but it is indeed Pumpkin Patch Time. The weather is cooling down (hopefully for good this time), so that means it's time for the traditional visit to the pumpkin patch. Lots of patches to choose from, but two of our favorites are Hodges Family Farm and Hall Family Farm. Both open for the season this weekend...check them out!
