It's going to be near 90 today, but yes, it is technically fall in Dallas. I saw proof of that in our neighborhood this weekend. The annual pumpkin patch at Arapaho United Methodist Church is officially open for business.
Most neighbors know this as "the pumpkin church" because they've got a long-standing tradition of running the patch off Arapaho and Coit. What a lot of neighbors probably don't know, however, is that these pumpkins actually come from a Navajo farm in New Mexico. The farm produces 1,600 acres of pumpkins every year, which pumps about $2 million back into the Navajo community. The church buys pumpkins from the Navajo farm every year as part of its mission outreach.
If you'd like to pick up your pumpkin, you can swing by now through Friday, Oct. 31, between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m.
