A tradition that began with the simple question – ‘Why can’t we sell pumpkins like the church down the street?’ – will celebrate its 12th anniversary this fall with two tractor-trailers delivering hundreds of plump gourds at the steps of Royal Lane Baptist Church.
The Sept. 29 delivery will commence the church’s annual Pumpkin Patch and Fall Festival. A second delivery will arrive Oct. 13.
The Pumpkin Patch runs from Sept. 29 to Oct. 31.
The event was inspired by a want to serve the community at the church’s Royal Lane location, member Cathy Webb said.

The free festival, which caters to all ages, brings out hundreds of community members from in and around the church.
