A small army of volunteers converged at Carteret Street United Methodist Church to unload a tractor-trailer carrying 3,000 assorted pumpkins Sunday. The Pumpkin Patch annual fundraiser for the church’s youth ministry, will be open from noon to 6 p.m., through Sunday, Oct. 31. Photos by Bob Sofaly

Once the 3,000 pumpkins are unloaded (the smallest first), they have to be put on either utility spools or on wooden pallets Sunday for the 20th annual Pumpkin Patch at Carteret St. United Methodist Church. Here, volunteers sort them by color and size. Photos by Bob Sofaly.
