Every year, Saint James Episcopal Church on Audelia at McCree, a few blocks north of Northwest Highway, stages its famous Pumpkin Patch.  Thousands of fresh pumpkins will be sold.  Pumpkins of every size and shape.

This is a joint venture between the church and a New Mexico Indian tribe.  The Indians plant, grow and harvest the pumpkins, and then they are shipped in two big loads to St. James where they are sold by volunteers.

The entire net portion of the sales retained by Saint James goes to fund its youth ministry, which not only includes its Dallas activities, but its missionary trips.  The youth director, Doug Horton, advises that enough money is raised by the venture so that the church does not have to subsidize the youth program.

In addition to the thousnds of pumpkins that are delivered in two loads, about two weeks apart, there are picture boards and staged photo shoot areas so that parents and grandparents can take Halloween pictures of the kids, and take them without charge.

The Saint James Pumpkin Patch is open from 10AM to 7PM, Monday through Saturday, and on Sundays, it opens right after the last church service....say about 11:30 AM.

If you want to talk about real estate, the economy, the bail out, Galveston or life in general, I'd love to be one side of that conversation.  I have an extra chair at the table waiting for you, and I personally will be holding court every Thursday until Halloween from 1PM to 4PM.  Please stop by.
