Pumpkin Patch Visits

It is that time of year to find your pumpkin! There are lots of pumpkin patches in the area but I recommend a visit to Carrigan Farms in Mooresville. For just $8.50, you can take a hayride, visit the petting zoo, pick a pumpkin and have a cup of apple cider. It is a great tradition to start and is sure to become a family favorite year after year. For more information and directions to the farm, visit www.carriganfarms.com
