The Pumpkins are coming this Weekend!

The “Pumpkin Truck” will arrive at First Congregational Church in Saugus Center tomorrow (Saturday, Sept. 21) at 9 a.m. Volunteers are needed to help unload the truck. Volunteers are also needed to help staff the various shifts for the selling of pumpkins.

In just one day, “The Orange Glow” – as some folks like to call it – will return to the church lawn on Hamilton Street which faces Saugus Town Hall. The Annual Pumpkin Patch will run from Sept. 21 through Halloween, Oct. 31. Pumpkins of all sizes will be displayed on the church lawn on Hamilton Street across from Saugus Town Hall and will be available for purchase every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Pumpkin Patch tradition has become a very popular autumn attraction to people passing through Saugus Center.

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.

If you are interested in helping to unload the “Pumpkin Truck,” please contact Carl Spencer at 781-233-9196. “The Pumpkin Patch” offers a great way to get in the fall spirit.
