Pumpkin Patch
2025 Recap:
This season was truly one for the record books! Thanks to the dedication and teamwork of so many volunteers and supporters, the pumpkin patch finished with a final total of $18,348, surpassing our $18,000 goal! We also set a NEW record for final-day sales, bringing in $950.50, which is double what we typically make.
From the very beginning, community participation was key. With the help of over 120 volunteers, 2,318 pumpkins were unloaded in under two hours.
Throughout the season, the patch hosted several signature events, including Pick & Paint, a Fall Festival, Movie Night in the Patch, Trunk or Treat, and preschool storytime field trips. Each event drew strong turnout and created welcoming spaces for families to gather and connect with Jonesboro First UMC.
Our outreach extended beyond the patch through social media, where our newly created TikTok page significantly increased visibility. The highest-performing video reached 65,000 views, generating strong curiosity about the patch and contributing to an increase in attendance.
The success of these events, the dedication of volunteers, and digital outreach resulted in one of our strongest seasons yet!
See you soon in the 2026 season!
Pick n Paint
Pick & Paint is a fun, family-friendly activity where everyone can choose a pumpkin and decorate it with their own creative designs. Paint and supplies will be provided so kids and adults alike can enjoy making their pumpkin unique. It’s a relaxing way to celebrate the fall season together while getting creative.
Movie in the Patch
Movie in the Patch is an outdoor movie night set right in the middle of the pumpkin patch. Families are invited to bring blankets or chairs and enjoy a film together. Free popcorn will also be available!
Trunk or Treat
Trunk or Treat is a safe and fun celebration where decorated car trunks are filled with candy for children to collect. Kids are encouraged to wear costumes as they go from trunk to trunk gathering treats!
