Pumpkin Pickin’

The pumpkins are in and ready to be carved into traditional jack-o-lanterns at Carteret Street Methodist Church. Here, Will shows a nice gourd to his son Jacob while they and other family members search for the elusive perfect pumpkin on Saturday, Oct. 6, on church grounds. Patch hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. Funds raised from the pumpkin sales go to the church’s youth group. Photo by Bob Sofaly.
