Where Gourds and Glee Float Together

Sonterra MUD’s first annual Floating Pumpkin Patch at the pool kicked off the fall season with a unique twist on a beloved fall tradition. During the event, 150 pumpkins bobbed around the water, and while most used creative measures to bring their pumpkins in, some took the plunge to grab the pumpkin they wanted. Families chose from an array of paint, stickers, and googley eyes to bring

their pumpkins to life by adding their own personal flairs and touches. Amy Perkins says, “I thought the floating pumpkin patch was a brilliant idea!” Her son watched with excitement as her husband reeled in their chosen pumpkin to decorate. The sentiment from all was that this distinctive event will be an important part of their happy anticipation of future fall seasons.
