LINCOLNTON, N.C. - Are you looking for the perfect pumpkin to carve and/or add to your fall decorations and festivities? Perhaps, you would like to help a local church raise funds for their mission programs? If you said “yes” to any of these questions, then you have an opportunity to help Boger City United Methodist Church accomplish both of these goals.

According to Jessica Kuster, Boger City United Methodist Church Pumpkin Patch Coordinator, members from their congregation and other volunteers will be unloading a truck load of pumpkins from the Navajo Reservation near Farmington, New Mexico on Saturday, September 28th in front of their church, located at 2320 East Main Street in Lincolnton, NC 28092. The Pumpkin Patch hours will be 12 noon until 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m.   Proceeds will benefit our church missions” said Kuster. Our choir director/organist and her husband are bee keepers. Their delicious local honey will be sold at our Pumpkin Patch with percentage donated  back to our church missions,” reiterated Kuster.

“Each year, throughout the month of October, hundreds of people pass through our church Pumpkin Patch in search of their special pumpkin or pumpkins  to purchase. The Pumpkin Patch is hard work but it’s worth it and a blessing watching our church come together in support of our youth mission projects. Our church members are signing up and volunteering to keep our Pumpkin Patch open seven (7) days per week. Everyone is invited to come out, support, and enjoy the Pumpkin Patch festivities” emphasized Kuster.

Pumpkins in all shapes, and sizes from baseball size to monsters taking two people to carry plus colorful gourds of every shape, and size are available for sale in different price ranges. An assortment of mini-pumpkins will be available for sale and make great addition for teachers implementing classroom activities.

Parents and grandparents are encouraged to bring their cameras for scenic photograph opportunities of your children and grandchildren amongst a “sea” of orange pumpkins.
