30 th Annual Pumpkin Patch to Support ESCCA!

ESCCA'S annual Pumpkin Patch sale fundraiser will be Saturday, October 9th from 9am-2pm at Independence Park on Central St.

ESCCA'S 30th annual Pumpkin Patch sale fundraiser will be Saturday, October 9th from 9am-2pm. It's held at Independence Park on Central St. (corner of Central and Stewart). There will be hundreds of pumpkins to choose from, so please do all your pumpkin buying to benefit ESCCA! Balloons, face painting and refreshments will also be available.

For those who don't know about ESCCA, it has been around since the Great Depression and provides needy District 65 K-8 children with complete wardrobes, coats, shoes and boots. Approximately 600 children are clothed every year. Since Coldwell Banker donates the pumpkins, 100% of the pumpkin sales go directly to the purchase of new jeans, shoes and underwear for the children. ESCCA is an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff. Donations of any type, clothing or monetary are always welcome and appreciated. You can contact ESCCA at escca.org.
