PUMPKINS DELAYED at The Pumpkin Patch at First United Methodist on King Street in St. Augustine

UPDATE on Wednesday, October 7, 2020: The pumpkins at First United Methodist Church HAVE BEEN DELAYED and will not be arriving for the pumpkin patch to open on October 8. According to a church representative, there is a shortage of delivery trucks due to the pandemic. The pumpkins are ordered from Pumpkins USA, based in North Carolina, but the pumpkins coming to the church were grown in New Mexico on a Navajo Native American reservation. The pumpkin sales go to help the children and youth ministries at First United Methodist Church. 

This year is different due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with many St. Augustine and St. Johns County pumpkin patches NOT OPENING. However, “The Pumpkin Church” on King Street in downtown St. Augustine will open soon. See details below.
