With Easter just around the corner, I hope it’s not too early for you to think about pumpkins. Yes, I did say pumpkins. We would like to get an early start on the Pumpkin Patch this year. Your ideas and suggestions are always welcome.
This will be our 20th year selling pumpkins, and we’d like to celebrate this milestone with a “Pumpkin Festival.” Some ideas discussed:
Pumpkin House on the lawn
Float in the Halloween parade
Scholarship for a local youth (essay contest)
Percentage of profit to go back to the Navajo Nation
Crafts
Face painting
Pumpkin painting demos
Food, food, and more food
Square dance and/or English country dancing in parking lot in the evening
Small giveaways to children
Thank you to the community for supporting us
There are so many ideas but we need volunteers to make it a success. This will all occur while the 2021 Pumpkin Patch is in operation, so mark your calendar for the following dates:
October 2 – Pumpkins arrive
October 9 – Pumpkin Festival
October 16 – Rain date for Pumpkin Festival
Please let Lou Ann Scott or Diane Bartley know if you are interested in helping in any way. It will NOT happen without YOU! Also, please watch your newsletter and emails for more ways to help with the Pumpkin Patch. We will be looking for different chairs to head up different Committees, keeping in mind that this is the church’s biggest fundraiser, and it takes MANY to make it a SUCCESS!
