This is the 18th annual pumpkin patch event and Pastor LaCinda Bloomfield said they’re happy to spread some joy in the city.

“In the times that our world is facing we are honored to be able to love the children of our city and we just don’t know what the future is… so we have today, and we try to make today amazing," stated Pastor LaCinda Bloomfield, Champion Church.

This year, the patch has a new hayride and obstacle course for families.

A local favorite is also back.
