Saturday, Sept. 23. was the first official day of fall, meaning it’s time to rain-proof the patio and pick out the right pumpkin for the porch.
The local grocery store is always an option, but for those who wish to take part in the annual tradition of visiting a pumpkin patch, there are many local providers to choose from.
Here’s a list of some of your options in Southwest Washington.
