Have you been to the Pumpkin Patch? If not, you better hurry on over and select just the right one. The patch is located in downtown Buda. The patch is a very good place for that special Halloween photo. The men’s group of the Buda United Methodist Church sponsors the annual sale of pumpkins as a fundraiser for missions and local scholarships.
