Pumpkin Festival
Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2016/09 - September
One of the surest signs of fall in Highlands is the sight of radiant pumpkins carpeting the yard of Highlands United Methodist Church.
The Pumpkin Festival will be staged from 11:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. Saturday, October 1. All funds raised will support the many Youth Mission activities. These ministries include local community service projects, plus trips to serve the homeless, the Haiti Mission and the Bolivian Mission trip. This year, the youth will also give a portion of their sales proceeds back to the church in support of the new Faith & Fellowship Center that will support the church’s community outreach programs. The pumpkins sales and lunch are all part of the church’s Octoberfest celebration taking place that day.
Enjoy one-stop-shopping. Pumpkin prices are super affordable, ranging from $1 to $20. Yes, you certainly can pre-order and you can buy in bulk. If you need several pumpkins, the HUMC Youth can definitely fulfill that need. Just call the Church Office at (828)526-3376 or e-mail [email protected].
Why not challenge your neighbors to a decorating contest with pumpkins from the HUMC Youth Pumpkin Patch? If you can’t make the festival on Saturday; pumpkins will be available beginning Wednesday, September 28, throughout the month of October.
Come have lunch with the youth also. The aromas of hot dogs and bratwurst will wake up your taste buds. Add all the fixin’s (even sauerkraut), plus choose from soft drinks or a bottle of water and a dessert. Hot dog plates are $5 and bratwurst plates are $6. If you’d like to support the Youth in their many mission projects, donations may be mailed to HUMC, P O Box 1959, Highlands, NC 28741.
