4 Spots to Score A Great Pumpkin This Weekend
As symbols of holidays go, the pumpkin has to be my favorite. The shape, the color, the utility of this fruit (yep, its a fruit, not a veggie) is perfectly suited to Hallowe'en and autumn in general.
The choosing of the perfect pumpkin to carve into a Jack-o-Lantern is no joke. Maybe you love a fresh pumpkin to make an honest to goodness pure pumpkin pie.
Whatever your love for pumpkin, here are four spots in the Quad Cities where you can hope to find great pumpkins abound... Charlie Brown.
And remember, be sincere.
