Pumpkin Fest this weekend

pumpkin%20fest.jpg In my weekend post, I left out an event you may want to know about, especially since it's on rain or shine.

Irvine Nature Center hosts its 32nd annual Pumpkin Fest, a family harvest festival, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. For $10 a child (adults and kids under 3 get in free), there will be scarecrow stuffing, music, puppet shows, pony rides, animal "encounters" and story times.
