One giant pumpkin will be raffled to one lucky winner on Oct. 25 at the Fayetteville First United Methodist Church’s Fall Festival. Raffle tickets are $2 or free with every $20 purchase from the pumpkin patch. Pumpkin sales will continue through Oct. 31 at the FFUMC Pumpkin Patch.

 “We are offering a variety of sizes and prices,” said Allie Hansen, parent coordinator. “Proceeds will help us build sunshades to protect our students and teachers on our playground.

 Be sure to bring a camera. The new location for the patch between the Family Life Center and the historic chapel offers a great backdrop for autumn pictures. The patch is open daily with morning and afternoon hours. For more information, call the church office, 770-461-4313, or visit fayettevillefirst.com.

 Fayetteville First United Methodist Church is located at 175 East Lanier Avenue, next to the historic courthouse in downtown Fayetteville.
