We mentioned recently that the supply was pretty picked through, but Wellesley Hills Congregational Church pumpkin patch organizers tell us that they’ve had a fresh delivery and should have plenty more to sell between now and Halloween, from 10am-6pm daily. On Sunday the church got a shipment of about 3,000 new pumpkins (46,000 lbs.), including lots of big ones.
Guess we got over to the to the Wellesley Hills Congregational Church’s annual pumpkin patch a little late, but there are still quite a few pumpkins to pick through.
