Pumpkin Patch returns for the 20th year

Help needed to unload “the pumpkin truck” on Sept. 24

  The First Congregational Church in Saugus Center will again host the Annual Pumpkin Patch, which will run from September 24 through October 31. Pumpkins of all sizes will be displayed on the church lawn and will be available for purchase every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. “The Pumpkin Patch” looks forward to having everyone come and enjoy this great fall event.

  The “Pumpkin Truck” is expected to arrive at the church at 9 a.m. next Saturday (Sept. 24) with lots of pumpkins. People who would like to help unload the truck are asked to arrive at the church by 9 a.m. For information, please contact Carl Spencer at 781-233-9196.

  “The Orange Glow” – a popular event that highlights autumn in Saugus Center and literally stops traffic headed up Hamilton Street – will again take over the church lawn across the street from the Town Hall building.

  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.
