In the patch

Posted

Mayor Scott Avedisian joins the Rev. Susan Wrathall, rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church on West Shore Road for a stroll through the church pumpkin patch. Grown on a reservation in New Mexico, the sale of pumpkins not only is a benefit to the reservation but also to the church and its mission. Funds will help stock the pantry for those in need and the lunches held the last Saturday of every month, which are attended by 80 to 100 people. Also, this year the church will share in profits with the Elizabeth Buffum Chace Center. The pumpkin patch is open for sales Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Prices range from $4 to $30 and, in case you were counting, the patch started with 1,803 pumpkins. The church harvest festival is Oct. 22 from 4 to 9 p.m. and the “trunk or treat” Halloween event is Oct. 29 from 3 to 4 p.m. Admission to both events is $1. (Warwick Beacon photo)
