 Pumpkin
Patch season is upon us and one of the favorites of Peachtree Corners
opens Oct. 3-31 at Peachtree Corners Christian Church, located at 6060
Spalding Drive, Norcross, GA.
The “Patch” will be open daily from Oct. 3-31, weekdays and Sundays,
from noon till 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. till 8 p.m. All sizes
and types of pumpkins will be available for purchase ranging from extra
large to “mini” pumpkins, plus a selection of gourds and Indian corn.
There are pumpkins for every budget, from 50 cents to over $25.
All proceeds from the Pumpkin Patch go to support a variety of church
and other ministries such as Norcross Cooperative Ministry, Family
Promise of Gwinnett, and Gwinnett Children’s Shelter, which need
community support more than ever in these difficult economic times.
This year, in addition to the "Patch", the church is planning
something a "Community Campfire" on Saturday, October 29, from 6 to 9
p.m. Everyone is invited to join in some old-fashioned fun around the
campfire as we roast hot dogs, make s'mores, and enjoy campfire songs
and storytelling. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket and stop by to enjoy
this fun evening for all ages.
