Pumpkin Junction Open for Business

The pumpkins are here and Pumpkin Junction awaits you.

The pumpkins for the annual fundraiser at St. John's Episcopal Church finally arrived for unloading Friday morning. They were expected about a week ago from the Navajo Indian reservation that supplies them. But a shipping snafu delayed them almost a week.

The result on Friday morning: the lawn in front of the “Red Church” on County Road was turning into a sea of orange with pumpkins of all sizes and shapes being unloaded.

The orange gourds will be on sale every day until Halloween from 10 am to 6 pm Monday through Friday and from 9 am to 6 pm on Saturday and Sunday.

The big day is tomorrow, Oct. 1, when a family festival runs from 10 am to 4 pm.
