Pumpkins For A Cause

The annual Pumpkins for a Cause event was held on September 28 in Vaughn, marking another successful year for this community tradition. This year, the event welcomed over 1,400 visitors, all eager to pick out their pumpkins to take home just in time for Halloween.

In addition to selecting pumpkins, attendees were treated to the scenic hayrides, which offered families a tour of the pumpkin patch and surrounding farm areas.

For hungry visitors, freshly popped popcorn was available, adding a simple but delightful snack to the experience. The smell of buttery popcorn filled the air, enhancing the festive atmosphere of the pumpkin patch.

One of the most meaningful aspects of the event was its charitable focus. All donations left by attendees this year are directed to the new Sun River Valley Food Bank in Vaughn, making the event not just a fun seasonal outing but also a way for the community to come together for a good cause. Organizers expressed their gratitude to the community for its generous support, noting how every contribution, no matter the size, will help make a difference.

As the day drew to a close, families left with their pumpkins, memories, and the satisfaction of having participated in a heartwarming local tradition. The Pumpkins for a Cause event continues to be a favorite way for the community to kick off both the fall and Halloween seasons while supporting an important cause.
