Dear Editor,
In October, the San Marcos Daily Record published a picture of the Pumpkin Patch at the First United Methodist Church which concluded on October 31st. We appreciate your efforts to inform the community of this mission project.
This truly was a community event. Hundreds of people from San Marcos and surrounding areas came to the Pumpkin Patch to buy pumpkins but they also came to take pictures of themselves, their friends, family, young children and of their pets. Sometimes people just came to the Pumpkin Patch to wander around and view the amazing varieties of pumpkins and gourds. The church also sponsored a Party in the Patch with an estimated attendance of over 500 individuals and families who came in Halloween costumes to play games, take pictures and to eat hotdogs!
