Skip the pumpkin patch this year, and build your own instead.

No vines, no mud, no picking through the sad ones at the front of the lot. Mix and match fabric, paper, wood, and 3D-printed filament to build a whole patch of pumpkins that are entirely yours, in whatever colors and patterns you want. All skill levels welcome. $10 suggested donation.

This one also kicks off Fall Maker Fest, five weekends of hands-on workshops, all through October, building up to a Halloween finale on Main Street. Every dollar raised goes straight back into Makerspace programming for this community.
