Earlier this week, a team of volunteers worked in assembly line fashion to unload pumpkins for fall décor projects, nestling them in Grace Network’s Pumpkin Patch, which is located in a lot near First Baptist Church, 23 Starling Ave., Martinsville.

The pumpkin sale is Grace Network’s annual fundraising event, with proceeds invested in Martinsville and Henry County. Prices range from $4-$45, depending on size (diameter). 

The pumpkin patch is open 7 days a week through October 31. The hours are Monday through Friday, 1 to 7 p.m., Saturdays 9 a.m. to -5 p.m. and Sundays 1 to 5 p.m.

This is the Mullen family's first time helping set up the Pumpkin Patch and, they said, they'll be back to do it again: (from left) Emily Mullen, Sharon Mullen, and Westley Mullen. "I love pumpkins," said Westley, so he was interested in participating.

Along with traditional jack-o-lantern pumpkins, a variety of other kinds are available. Grace Network board member Larissa Rash (from left), who works at Fidelity Bank, shows a swan gourd; Executive Director Tracy Hinchcliff shows an elf house pumpkin; Taylor Hodges of Fidelity Bank shows a gizmo pumpkin; and Grace Network board vice president Mary Nester shows wing gourds.
Local trustees worked from inside the pumpkin delivery truck, handing pumpkins down to other people, and once the truck was emptied of pumpkins they took out the hay.
