Organizers say the pumpkins come from a Navajo Indian reservation in Farmington, New Mexico, and feature a variety of small and large pumpkins and different gourds.

Jedburg Junction
Jedburg Junction will host Pumpkin Junction every Saturday in October from 9 am to 3 pm.

This Summerville area farmers’ market hosts a petting zoo, a costume contest, and live music each Saturday.
