Pumpkin Patch round-up

Orange you glad it’s pumpkin season? It’s time for the annual photos of little ones posing in pumpkin patches, jack-o-lantern carving contests, roasting pumpkin seeds and pumpkin spice everything — including the universally-anticipated pumpkin flavored coffee drinks at your local coffee shops.
Several pumpkin patches throughout Corpus Christi offer pumpkins for purchase — or the opportunity to pose for a fun fall photo in a sea of orange. Many feature family friendly activities as well, such as story times, mazes, trick-or-treating and more. Need to know where to go? We have it all right here in our 2016 Pumpkin Patch round-up.
