Roll Out the Pumpkins

Two Georgetown churches, First United Methodist  and San Gabriel Presbyterian, have rolled out their pumpkins for the Halloween season.   Both pumpkin patches are fundraisers for various charities.   While San Gabriel’s pumpkins arrived on time last weekend, it took a little longer for the orange orbs to make their journey from Farmington, New Mexico to our Methodist friends.   The initial arrival was scheduled for Sunday, but the  driver’s truck broke down.  Then, with a Tuesday date set, the driver  got stuck in some sort of traffic jam and called the church with his dilemma.  Finally, the huge  truckload of pumpkins made it here Wednesday afternoon, with plenty of helpers on hand to unload 2,500 pumpkins.  The first 6 photos are from First United, the last 6 from San Gabriel.   Check them out if you’re in need of a pumpkin or two.   These photos were taken for the Williamson County Sun.
