Special Events of Note
Early October brings the last of the outdoor festivals and events. They center around the apple harvest and of course pumpkins! Perhaps the most exciting is the Fall Pumpkins Weigh-offs. Often included in a fall festival, pumpkin weigh-offs put pumpkins on display. You can almost hear the thud as these behemoths, often weighing over a ton, are placed on the scales.
Find a pumpkin weigh-off near you
At the very end of this month, Halloween arrives. Join us in one of the biggest, and certainly scariest holiday celebrations of the year. Have a happy and scary Halloween at Pumpkin Nook.
