This is the time of year that church youth groups sell pumpkins as a fundrasier. The above stand, located in Oak Ridge, is sponsored by the youth group of Oak Ridge Methodist Church. It is so fun to see small children delight in the selection of the family pumpkins. Increasingly, white, green, and ornamental pumpkins and gourds are becoming available.
Noteworthy in this photo is the canopy provided by Forbis & Dick Funeral Home. Our local funeral homes are generous to loan out these canopy/tents. They are a much friendlier sight over a pumpkin patch than over a cemetery plot! This glorious North Carolina sky, at the corner of Highway 68 and Oak Ridge Road near McDonald's Restaurant, is our contribution to Sky Watch Friday. If you don't want to drive to the far reaches of the county, you have plenty of in-town options. Here is the one at Mt. Pisgah Methodist Church that we featured last year.
Great combination of blue sky and pumpkin road. And the story is full of new info for me.
