Spooky Spirits, witches, bats and zombies will haunt Canyon Charter School’s 10th Annual Pumpkin Patch and Bake Sale for the next two days. More than 500 pumpkins of all shapes and sizes will be offered for sale, donated by a canyon family. Prices will be categorized by small, medium and large. There will be a contest to guess the weight of an enormous “great” pumpkin. Whoever picks the closest number to the actual poundage gets to lug it home. Last year, fourth grader Lauren Hutchinson hit it exactly by choosing 144 pounds.
The sale will occur today from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The school is located at 421 Entrada Dr. in Santa Monica.
Halloween inspired decorations made by the kindergartners will adorn the patch. Purchases, including the scary delicious array of home-baked goods are tax deductible because proceeds raised benefit the school’s beautification committee.
For more information contact, Canyon Charter School at (310) 454-2566, Shari Enge (310) 979-0221, or Debbie Alexander (310) 454-2566.
