charlotte: A Great Pumpkin Patch Off Rea Road on the Border on Mecklenburg & Union County! - 10/24/11 12:00 PM
If you live in South Charlotte or head out to Union county on Rea Road when going home in the evening then watch for the Pumpkin Patch. 

Yesterday I was on my way to meet clients, but had to stop when I saw this lovely sea of color.  The Pumpkin Patch had mums of every color and size.  There were all shapes and sizes of pumpkins.  It was really fun watching the children as they decided which pumpkin was going home with them.  They were also selling corn stalks in bunches.  It was a fun experience.
