‘The Pumpkin Patch’ returns next weekend

For the 22nd year, First Congregational Church in Saugus Center will host the Annual Pumpkin Patch, which will run from Sept. 21 through Halloween (Oct. 31). Pumpkins of all sizes will be displayed on the church lawn and will be available for purchase every day from 10:00 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The “Pumpkin Truck” will arrive on Saturday, Sept. 21, at 9 a.m. with lots of pumpkins. People who would like to help unload the truck are asked to arrive at the church by 9 a.m. Saugus is one of many communities receiving pumpkins from the Navajo Reservation near Farmington, N.M., working with a program called Pumpkin Patch USA, which coordinates the destination of the pumpkins. The church and the Navajo Reservation both benefit from the pumpkins.

In just eight days, “The Orange Glow” – as some folks like to call it – will return to the church lawn on Hamilton Street that faces Saugus Town Hall. The Pumpkin Patch tradition has become a very popular autumn attraction to people passing through Saugus Center. “The Pumpkin Patch” looks forward to having everyone come and enjoy this great fall event.
