It is pumpkin patch time in Greensboro and Centenary Methodist Church at 2300 West Friendly Avenue is ready to help you with your pumpkin/gourd needs. White pumpkins are trending this year and people are really getting creative at carving them. Profits will be shared with the Boy Scouts and other groups at Centenary UMC. The church invites preschools and daycares to bring children to have story time in the patch. This activity is especially fun at this centrally-located church- as long as the weather cooperates.
Although you may pay a little more for your pumpkin at a fundraising patch, your money is going to help the local community. Also, you are building memories by picking out a pumpkin from an outdoor patch, as opposed to purchasing from a big box store or supermarket. It is predicted that 145 million Americans will purchase pumpkins for Halloween and spend $377.23 million on pumpkins for carving into jack-o-lanterns.* We're betting the Greensboro does its fair share to contribute to these data!
Pumpkin patches at churches isn't really done here.
