(ABC 6 News) – The Corner Pumpkin Patch in Mason City opened this weekend, the second annual pumpkin patch hosted by the St. James Lutheran Church. 

“We partner with an organization out in North Carolina,” said Pastor Jeni Bohls. “They get pumpkins from Navajo reservations and they delivered the pumpkins Friday. We have thousands of pumpkins here.” 

The proceeds of the month-long pumpkin sale support the church’s annual fund. 

Bohls said, “We started it as an outreach to the community. We have this beautiful yard here and trying to figure out more ways we can reach out to our community with our beautiful location and decided to start the pumpkin patch.” 

Pumpkins vary greatly in size and price, from $2 to $40 pumpkins all being found at the patch. 

Family Fun Day was hosted on Sunday, September 29, and saw vendors and activities for patrons as they picked their favorite pumpkin. 

Here’s a list of future event hosted at Corner Pumpkin Patch:

Oct 12- Fall Festival 
Oct 19- Pancakes and storytime
Oct 20- Polka in the Patch
Oct 30- Trunk or Treat
