Autumn Fun in Bryan: The Faith in Action Pumpkin Patch Opens Its Doors

As the leaves begin to change and the air gets that unmistakable crispness of fall, families in Bryan have a delightful reason to celebrate! The Habitat for Humanity Faith in Action Pumpkin Patch has officially opened, and it’s all set to bring joy, laughter, and perhaps a pumpkin spice latte or two to the community. This vibrant fall event runs from September 29 to October 31, making it the perfect outing as we dive deeper into the autumn season.

A Perfect Place for Fall Festivities

Located right in the heart of Bryan, near the intersection of East 29th Street and East Villa Maria Road, the pumpkin patch offers an inviting atmosphere for everyone. Families, friends, and even furry companions are welcomed to explore rows and rows of pumpkins, each seemingly waiting to be picked for your next big fall celebration. Let’s be honest; nothing says fall quite like a stroll through a pumpkin patch on a sunny day!

More than Just Pumpkins

The pumpkin patch isn’t just a pretty spot for photos and pumpkin picking; it also plays a significant role in supporting a meaningful cause. Connie Flickinger, who is part of the Faith in Action Committee, expressed just how vital this event is for the local community. “Our pumpkin patch is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year for Habitat for Humanity,” she shared with enthusiasm. “All of the pumpkin sales that we have here, the money will stay here to build homes locally.”

That’s right! Each pumpkin you choose not only adds to your autumn decorations but also contributes directly to affordable housing projects in the Bryan/College Station area. It’s a wonderful way to support your neighbors while enjoying a beloved seasonal tradition.

Fun for All Ages

The patch is run by dedicated volunteers, making it a family-friendly event where everyone can jump in on the fun. You can bring the kids to find their perfect pumpkin or snap some pictures that’ll steal a spot in your family album. With a backdrop of bright orange and the occasional whimsical scarecrow peeking around, it’s an atmosphere filled with joy and laughter. Plus, who can resist a good photo-op with a giant pumpkin?

Whether you’re looking for a pumpkin to carve into a spooky masterpiece for Halloween, or you just want one to decorate your porch and welcome in the fall spirit, you’re sure to find something that catches your eye.
