Pumpkins great and small are ready at the Fayetteville First United Methodist Church Pumpkin Patch now through Oct. 31. “We are offering a variety of sizes and prices,” said Allie Hansen, parent coordinator. “Proceeds will help us build sunshades to protect our students and teachers on our playground. We even have one giant pumpkin being raffled to one lucky winner on Oct. 25 at the FFUMC Fall Festival. Raffle tickets are $2 or free with every $20 purchase from our pumpkin patch.” Bring cameras, too.

The new location for the patch between the Family Life Center and the historic chapel offers a great backdrop for autumn pictures. The patch is open daily with morning and afternoon hours.
