The annual festival of fall family fun that makes up the Wyman Living History Museum’s pumpkin patch did not disappoint Saturday.
Dozens of Craig residents of all ages flocked to the museum grounds to pick out their pumpkins for Halloween, with a great amount of gourds strewn across the site.
Whether trying to grab a massive pumpkin — orange or white or warty — or one more their size, young children had plenty of choices for their future jack-o’-lanterns.
